The thing to keep in mind in all this...for the hands to go IN (as stated above particularly in an angle of approach procedure)...the right hip MUST "get outta the way" ...IMO EARLY....this is the beauty of what Homer was systematizing....IN HOMER'S MIND THE EARLIEST WOULD BE....BEFORE THE HIP IS SET "IN MOTION"....
Great stuff, 12pb. Love those pictures.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly...
Are you suggesting that a player using a Hitter's Angle of Approach procedure with Top alignments like the King in your pictures PRETURN HIS HIPS as far as illustrated in these pictures before the backstroke motion (Start Up) starts?
