[12 piece bucket]

12 Piece,
This is a section where Mr. Kelley's 7th edition revisions make an important change in his wording- he changes "concentrates" to "is aware of". You're not the first to bring this important clarification up- more than 25 years ago others had the same questions/issues and after contemplation Mr. Kelley understood that the term "concentrates" implies that you are "doing" something with the hands. The change to "is aware of" more properly denotes the Release Motions as effects of the movement and not something that you have to concentrate on in order to make it happen. This is in the context of the perfected motion, AS OPPOSED to a particular stage of development where the individual may be learning, changing, looking, looking, "concentrating" on perfecting and/or changing the release motions.

I know that, the above feedback may not answer your entire question- but I think it is an important first step- please feel free to re-ask or reclarify your question if necessary.

Hope that helps.

Mike,

It's good to have you out here posting! You are one of the best IMO.

I was trying to understand why the Swinger would "concentrate" on Wrist Motion and the Hitter would "concentrate" on Hand motion. My questioning this was due to my understanding (or possibly misunderstanding) that the Swinger has CF that would essentially perform the release of #2 ideally. So why would the Swinger need to concentrate on something CF does for him?

And with Hitting, since the Hitter's preferred Hinging is Angled Hinging which on an inclined plane has a no-Roll feel, then why would the Hitter need to concentrate on Hand Motion? Since Hand Motion is Turn/Roll, why the need to concentrate on a no-Roll feel?

It could be I have missed the boat.

Your participation in this forum is much appreciated!
