Right Arm/ Elbow

[EdZ]

Explain the Action and Positions of the RIGHT ARM and ELBOW during the Stroke (Hit and Swing), in your own words(UP and DOWN).
Notice the pictures in 9-2-5, 9-2-9, 10-3 A, and 10-6-B.

In these pictures in the book the Right Elbow does not appear to be in front of the RIGHT HIP. At the TOP, in most of the pictures in the book, the RIGHT ELBOW appears slightly under the plane. Confusion, or mis-application in these areas, can cause much frustation.

The RIGHT ARM cannot do it's "magic" unless it moves properly, and gets into the proper positions.

If I understand your question, you seem to be asking what is the difference between punch and pitch elbow.

A core difference is which 'flying wedge' is the primary focus/alignment.

For pitch (swinger), the position of the right elbow 'in front' of the right hip, places the priority on the left wedge, due to the requirements of using CF as the primary motivator. Any trend towards punch elbow using CF is likely to interupt the required transfer power needed to utilize CF properly, so this position minimizes the potential for that to occur.

For punch (hitter), the position of the right elbow 'down and at the side' of the right hip, places the priority on the right wedge, due to the linear 'driving' force as the primary motivator. Any trend towards pitch elbow using 'driving' force tends to interupt the 'straight line effort', making it too 'circular', however unlike the pitch/CF counterpart, this is 'less' of an issue for a hitter - hence a part of the reason that 4 barrel is generally considered to be only possible as a hitter.
