Does the straight line delivery path feel like a throw of your arm coming from your trailing shoulder?
And does the circle deliver path feel like your trailing arm travels "around" the shoulder?

Is this the difference?

Thanks
If you imagine the path of your hands traveling in your motion as a wheel (7-23), the 'widest possible' path of the hands would be a circle around your center of balance.

In a straight line delivery, your hands go from the 'edge of the rim' at the top, directly in a straight line INSIDE the circle towards your aiming point/both arms straight and at both arms straight they are again 'touching the wheel rim'. A 'feel' of 'narrow to wide' (top to both arms fully extended). A delayed release/max trigger delay and a more powerful (but tougher to time) motion.

In a circle delivery path, your hands effectively 'attempt' to STAY on the rim all the way 'around the circle'. A very 'wide' feel in which you release fully and smoothly from the top - very nearly throw away. A very consistent, but much less powerful motion, much simpler to judge distances.
