Yes, but this initial acceleration exists for both Hitters and Swingers, whether you're using Right Arm Thrust or Pivot Thrust.
Tongzilla,
First, I would think that we need to acknowledge that Lynn spot on answered you previous question. You've followed it with a statement- and possibly some implied question- which makes it tough to respond. Although, I'm assuming it's a little foggy and you're making a statement for others to confirm or clarify (could be wrong on that). Regarding your statement, I would think, strictly speaking and per his reference in 2-M-3 regarding "Or to Power Package Thrust add the Shoulder Turn per 2-M-4.", that semi-quoting you "the initial acceleration exists for the Hitter IF he/she is using a 4 barrel stroke, but not if it's just accumulators 1,2,3. In contrast, the swinger would normally have Pivot Thrust for a 3 barrel full stroke. In summary, I would emphasize that if you are using Right Arm Thrust nothing says that you will have Pivot Thrust- you only have "this initial acceleration" if you are using Pivot Thrust- and for Hitting that would be 4 barrel. That's at least the basic template- I'm using words such as normally and strictly speaking because you really have an infinite number of options and possibilities depending on the length of the stroke and what accumulators you choose to use, etc.

Finally, this is a discussion of one of the mechanics of the golf stroke- not a discussion of the procedural method used to swing a golf club.
