Hit from each of the Basic Plane Angles 10-6-A, B, C?

[12 piece bucket]

I know that the Turned Shoulder Plane is the recommended plane angle per 12-1-0. But can you execute an effective Hitting Procedure from all three Basic Plane angles?

Curious.

Thanks!

The key to successful Hitting is the Delivery Path, not the Plane Angle. Specifically, the Hitter should limit his Backstroke to the Top of the Straight Line Delivery Path (10-23-A) and avoid the Swinger's End Stroke, that is, Top Arc and Straight Line (10-23-C).

Dear Yoda,

Does stopping at the Top as in hitting verses going to End as in swinging result in less clubhead speed since the distance the clubhead travels is less?

In hitting, taking it to end will result in less force. If you go to end, you are preparing for longitudinal acceleration. In hitting you need radial acceleration. A hitter that goes to end will encourage clubhead throwaway. I've really increased my distance by shortening my stroke. I know... it sounds ridiculous, but it works.
