Clarifying Pick And Paw Compatibility

Chapter 11 - STROKES BASIC - Pg. 211

Des.--Term---Description-------------------Combinations

G-----Pick---Both Elbows Bent at Impact----All except H

H-----Paw----Both Arms Straight at Impact--All except G

My bolding.

Can someone check their 6th edition and confirm?
The Pick Minor Basic Stroke produces less than full Power and features both Arms bent and with Forearms On Plane (10-3-G). The Paw Minor Basic Stroke is a Stroke also for less than full Power wherein the Arms -- 'frozen' bent or straight -- are moved only via a rocking 'body only' motion (10-3-H).

By definition then, the Pick Stroke (with its bent Arms) and the Paw Stroke (when executed with straight Arms) are mutually exclusive. And this is the condition defined in the description of 11-0-3-H on page 211. Hence, the designated incompatibility of their Combination.

However, if the Paw Stroke is executed as alternatively permitted, i.e, with both Arms bent, then the Strokes are compatible, and their combination would produce a Pick 'Body Motion' Stroke. Similarly, combining the Pick Stroke with Push Major Basic Stroke would produce a Pick 'Arm Motion' Stroke, and a combination with the Peck Minor Basic Stroke would result in a Pick 'Hand Motion' Stroke.
