Are you saying the alignment is merely the result of either? From what I know... and looking at 4-O... there appears to be only reference to these movements based on hand motion only. This does not account for arm participation. Yet quite clearly 4-C is only possible with a rotation of either the forearm or the whole arm. To me I would think a distiction between forearm rotation and entire arm rotation would be a rather important subject to discuss when we look toward what parts of the body are being effected by each stroke pattern. As I've stated repeatedly in numerous posts, there is no true Rotation (of the Left Wrist, Arm or anything else) in the Hinge Action. The Flat Left Wrist -- and you can throw in the rest of the Arm if you want to -- remains Vertical to the selected Plane of Motion. Only in the Swivel is there a true, independent Rotation of the Wrist and Forearm. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
