The Swinger's Startup Swivel
is required for
Acquired Motion (12-5-2 "pitch"). For those who are interested, see 12-5-2-6. The reference given for the Swinger is 10-18-A (Standard Wrist Action). This requires a
Startup Swivel (a
true independent Turning Motion of the Left Forearm) and a
Release Swivel (a true independent Rolling Motion of the Left Forearm) which brings you in position to apply your selected
Hinge Action (usually
Horizontal Hinge 10-10-D) from Impact to Follow Through (8-11), which conveniently coincides with The Finish (8-12), allowing you to precisely check your Hinge Action.
You do not need
any sort of Swivel when using Basic Motion (12-5-1). It's simply too short a Stroke.
