What's the difference from a straight line delivery path vs circle del
What is the difference in feeling from a straight line delivery path and a circle delivery path?
Does the straight line delivery path feel like a throw of your arm coming from your trailing shoulder?
And does the circle deliver path feel like your trailing arm travels "around" the shoulder?

If you imagine the path of your hands traveling in your motion as a wheel (7-23), the 'widest possible' path of the hands would be a circle around your center of balance.
In a straight line delivery, your hands go from the 'edge of the rim' at the top, directly in a straight line INSIDE the circle towards your aiming point/both arms straight and at both arms straight they are again 'touching the wheel rim'. A 'feel' of 'narrow to wide' (top to both arms fully extended). A delayed release/max trigger delay and a more powerful (but tougher to time) motion.
In a circle delivery path, your hands effectively 'attempt' to STAY on the rim all the way 'around the circle'. A very 'wide' feel in which you release fully and smoothly from the top - very nearly throw away. A very consistent, but much less powerful motion, much simpler to judge distances.

EdZ-Would you really say that circle delivery is "much less powerful" than straight line?
Sorry..but if the hands are too far forward you can really chunk it and also if you're too far forward with too much #2 and #3 accumulator you can thin it as well....Study the Law of the Flail!!!
Circle delivery path is recommended when one has very minimal to no axis tilt and the swing is using independent left arm power as indicated by the flip release procedure.Those who swing their left arm independent of the Pivot need to employ a circle path delivery or else??? Over acceleration becomes the "soup de jour"....
Straight line delivery is available to both hitter or swinger..but it is the swinger whose hands arc beyond the Top of the Delivery Line that uses TopArc/Straight Line and an Arc of Approach procedure..Hitters who only go to the Top employ and Straight Line Delivery Path and is very very compatible with an Angle of Approach procedure...Study 2-J-3, 7-23,10-23
Note: A Circle Path Delivery is a continuation of this TopArc without any intention of directing/aiming the thrust in a Straight Line or an Aiming Point!!!

I would say it's a viable procedure but not the best. A circle path requires much more handspeed in the downstroke because of the wide arc - which means less endless belt effect at the bottom. With a straight-line path, there is more "whip" at the bottom due to the endless belt effect.
Circle path works best with little axis tilt and more of a full sweep release. The straight line path starts from shoulder height and is more compatible with the snap release types. Like Annikan said, a real Swinger with an End backstroke position must use a Top Arc and Straight Line path because he must first return the hands to shoulder height (in an arc) before straight-lining to the ball. The Hitter, who preferably stops at the Top backstroke position, can use straight-line thrust immediately at startdown.
One must be careful here because release type and delivery path need to comply with each other. There are some bad component variations that could be executed here and one must be sure to avoid them.

Where can I read/learn about the variations?
I thought that a straight-line-delivery path would automatically mean that you'd be using a snap release, and a circle delivery path would automatically be using a sweep release. Is it a lot more of that?
I was wondering:
I can see how a circle delivery path would pull your body all the way past the "both arms straight" position.
However, if we are using a straight-line delivery, I can't understand what would help the arms/club/body move past the "both arms straight" position and go to the finish.

How does the concept of Straight Line Delivery Path coincide with the Radial Acceleration of the Hitter?
I think of "radial" as moving along a radius (of a circle).
If the hands move from the Top to the Aiming Point, along what radius (of what circle) do the Hands move on?
What am I missing about Radial Acceleration of the Hitter?
