Witcha . . . however it doesn't HAVE TO BE the first knuckle if unless the hands go past the top of the line delivery path and thus the path becomes Arc or Angled Line . . . right?

So the Swinger's #3 can change locations which would seem to lead to more difficulty in learning to interpret its message . . . #2 is the constant though . . . what do you think?

It has nothing to do with the assembly point except that you must assemble the accumulators you wish to use per stroke pattern at some point. As soon as you swivel and bring those hands flat to the plane and start loading the secondary lever assembly that loading action puts the pressure onto the first knuckle. That becomes the pressure you move onplane per my last post. Just like the swinger has a sequenced release - it should also be somewhat more of a sequenced loading... It is the fact that the swinger will swivel somewhat quicker to the plane than the hitter, the motion of no.2 creates the pressure against the first knuckle.

You can then just try to keep the longitudinal onplane pressure and not try to change it until centrifugal force whirls out the secondary lever assembly (A-variation grip) or you can maintain the pressure all the way down by allowing it to rotate back with the acc no.3 (B-Variation grip)....
