Those are AWESOME!!!!

Questions on the positioning of the Belt Mechanism . . .

The belt from down the line would match the Plane Angle and enscribed on the Plane from the face on view?

Also, it seems that all the motion is PARALLEL to the line of the belt . . . sort of like the concept of the all motion being parallel to the selected Delivery Line?

Would you say that the straight line EFFORT is continued even during the Radial Portion? And that effort is Downplane and consistent with Mr. K's notion that all THRUST is in a Crossline direction?

The right forearm motion is crossline because the right shoulder is not on the same plane as the club at impact - it is above plane.

The left arm works around inside a sphere of the left shoulder, the left shoulder works around a sphere of the pivot center either as a chord from a radius (head) or diameter (point between shoulders). Because of this, you can only actually have the hands going in a straightish line for a very small period. This initial thrust towards a point is extremely important, just like when you are throwing a reverse punch, the initial thrust will lead the hand in an arc towards its target around the centers of the arm(im not talking when the hand, shoulder and target is actually in a straight line already).

In automatic releases, the idea is that the straight line thrust of pp3 intersects the circularish motion of the hands making the release motions occur at that point of intersection. When the release motions occur the endless belt effect takes place as the club overtakes the left hand from its cocked and turned state on the backstroke until its cocked and rolled state after followthrough. However the release motions can be non-automatic and still have that initial thrust of the hands by initiating the roll at any point of the downstroke.
