What does that last sentence mean?

It relates to the 'loading' of lag pressure. To the degree that this happens in a swingers motion, this is not 'pure' longitudinal force, but it 'creates' pure longitudinal force at both arms straight.
Technically speaking, a swinger does not 'always' have pure longitudinal force during the motion, because loading will always create 'some' amount of radial pressure. For a swinger this is left wrist 'action'. This is in part why swingers will have less of a feel for lag pressure than hitters do, and why going to 'end' is a key to feeling the load.
Hitters, by contrast, can feel the constant, heavy load against PP#3 quite a bit stronger and certainly more constant through to follow through and should certainly 'feel' like they maintain it as far past impact as possible. |
