The Accelerating Thrust of Centrifugal Force is a Pulling Lengthwise Motion which results in a Throw Out Action. It can be accomplished by the Left Arm or the Right Arm, both are in a condition to Pull. It is your choice which one you use. Left Arm Swingers (using the Left Shoulder as the Stroke Center) use the Pivot to create a Transfer of Body Momentum. Right Arm Swingers (using the Right Elbow as the Stroke Center) use the Right Tricep to Pull and may not need thet use of Body Momentum.

If I am a right-arm swinger, how should I relate my pattern to Yoda's previous comment on the initial shoulder turn, "It is the period of Shoulder Acceleration during the Start Down (8-7), i.e., the Pivot (7-12) transporting the Power Package (6-0) before any independent movement of the Arms occurs (6-K-0). The initial Thrust thus supplied, the Arms then Deliver the Loaded Power Package to the Release Point. This is the period of Hand Acceleration (8-8 )"?

This quotation suggests that one should begin the downstroke with the pivot and then begin swinging the arms as delivery of the power package. Is this to be understood as one pattern among many, or should this be a part of every pattern? The reason this interests me is that I have finally found consistency and power once I figured out how to accomplish the three imperatives by allowing my pivot to respond to the arm swing, rather than having my pivot drive my arm swing.
