Just curious.
Mr. Kelley gave pretty good guidelines for A.Is to follow.

If flexible and/or quick, SWING.

If inflexible and/or strong, HIT.

Per the Preface: "Hitting and Swinging seem equally efficient. The difference is in the players. If strong -Hit. If quick - Swing. If both - do either. Or both."

Per 12-1-0: "...most useful to the stronger players."

Per 12-2-0: "...most useful to the more flexible players."


I have a student who is flexible and strong, he gets better results swinging.

So far, following this rule of thumb, I get pretty good results with my students.
