Lately, I am concluding that NOT thinking about the right arm, right wrist, or right forefinger is the way to go. If my mind traces the plane line with the right forearm or right forefinger, throwaway results. I realize this is TGM sacrilege , since the result of one of Yoda's polls stated that Homer's most important swing thought on the DS was to trace the plane line with the right forearm. However, any consciousness of the right forearm overrides and negates centrifugal force.

Homer also stated that one makes an underhanded pitch motion from the top, feeling as though one is slapping the ball with the right wrist. Same result as above. CF is negated. And the same goes with monitoring PP3 in my head.

Thinking about the right forearm, wrist or forefinger not only overrides CF, it also seems to truncate the swing radius and alter low point. Consciousness of the right arm feels like I am swinging from the right finger, right arm or right wrist, and low point is well behind the ball

In practice,(indoor without a ball) when I load PP2 and the left wrist with my pivot, and don't think about the right arm or PP3, and have an Untressed right wrist, and trust that CF will take care of the tracing of the geometric plane line, I feel I am swinging from my left shoulder and properly executing the rope pull technique. I don't consciously have an aiming point. I look at the inside corner of the ball, feel the left wrist load, and have my pivot and momentum transfer to the arms pull that loaded left wrist to a release point feel, downplane, and trust that CF will take care of the sequential release and hinging .
