Great list...I saw the adjustment...keep up the good work!!!

Yes, I was out of breath and got them the wrong way round! Error has been corrected.

Tongzilla,
Need oxygen mask?...Wrist throw vs. Right arm throw....Top Arc vs. Straightline ... Arc of Approach vs. Angle of Approach...Wrist Action vs. Hand Motion...Pitch vs. Punch

Arc of Approach vs. Angle of Approach was already on there! :D Your new contributions has been added.

I never understood Wrist Action vs Hand Motion for Swingers and Hitters. Could you explain?

Tongzilla,

Don't know for sure...check 4-0...4-B,4-C...could be wrong though!!! Hitter has to make sure ther is no turn and roll which would invlve the backswing swivel and release swivel...Like I said ...could be wrong!!!

Let it happen vs Make it happen.

Great List!

PChandler

I always thought the list in 6-H-0-E/F were a great list to follow.

Of course if you take 12-1-0/12-2-0 I think you will only find 9 components that differ whereas in 6-H-0 I think the number comes out to 10.

Of course there are only a few components that are incompatible between hitting and swinging whereas many are, maybe not optimal or without requiring compensation, but many.

Nice List
 

I'd pull two off: Spin Vs Drive (although I am not sure exactly what this references-I'm assuming it relates to ball flight characteristics) and Draw vs Fade (sure you could say that hitting and angled hinging has a fade producing component that needs to be compensated for but swinging certainly has no draw component)- the draw/fade requirements are really completely separate issues from the hitting and swinging methods.
