airair: I don't want to impose my thoughts on you - I'm toiling with this to find out what to think. That each shot has its own total motion I find very confusing.

Each Stroke should have a "Total" Motion insofar that each Stroke is comprised of 24 components.




airair: In that case one could say that the total motion of the basic motion is 2-3 feet back and 2-3 feet thru. I would rather say that it's the normal range of the basic motion - about a quarter swing.

"Total Motion" does not mean Length of Stroke. "Basic Motion" uses 24 Components. The Hands move only far enough in "Basic Motion" for one to assemble the "Primary Lever" (and Flying Wedges). From "Standard Address", the Hands move about 9" to the Right.



airair: When we get up to a half swing with the arms parallel to the ground we have a required motion and over that again the total motion.

"Acquired Motion" has the Right forearm not to exceed parallel-to-the-ground. Why is it called "Acquired"? Because you "Acquire" the "Secondary Lever": Wrist Cock---Hitters can "Right Triceps Thrust and Swingers can use CF to use the Secondary Lever.

So----"Basic Motion" is "Primary Lever" and "Acquired Motion" is "Secondary Lever".



airair: Does it really make sense to talk about the total motion of the total motion?

The word "Total" in "Total Motion: Stage Three, Curriculum" is the use of All Three Zones and 12 Sections.
