Per above, you talked about "adding some pivot". Now, I realise the Pivot is not an Accumulator, but do you think by having a larger turn you can gernerate more Power (Lag Pressure)? Or are there other reasons for adding some more pivot? I ask because the TGM me thinks that the Pivot is for maintaining Balance, Stationary Pivot Center, Axis Tilt, so Hands can take a Straight Path to the Ball. Also Launching Pad for Hitter.
Thanks!

Edit: I'm referring to 12-5-3 here, in case you were wondering...

Trust me, I understand that you're not picking. I appreciated the compliment. The reason I think you've become so knowledgeable are the great questions that you ask.

My pivot is really all about my hands, per 9-1 (Emphatically). My pivot accommodates and allows my hands to do their respective jobs. The pivot simply allows my hands to take a longer straight line delivery path to the ball, so I have a longer road on which to accelerate, per 2-M-2 #3 (affecting speed). When the road is longer though, the hitter has to be very careful about over-acceleration, per 2-M-2 #1 (affecting mass).

I hope this is helpful.
