[12 piece bucket]

From Homer's audio tapes:
"The left arm is almost useless except as accumulator #4 in pivot strokes. The release comes as the left arm leaves the chest".

What does Homer mean here? Pivot controlled hands strokes? Or simply swinging? All full power strokes use the pivot which would seem to indicate he ws talking about pivot controlled hands.

Here's a big thing the #4 Accumulator is the MASTER ACCUMULATOR . . . period. Accumulators HAVE TO RELEASE and if #4 doesn't release your hands are going to either go UNDER plane or OVER plane depending on what your shoulders do (roundhouse or bob) . . . the release sequence is 4,1,2,3 regardless of procedure (swinging or hitting) regardless of pivot stroke or non-pivot stroke. So if you don't release #4 . . . . you will have a plane shift.
