But...not to illustrate specific Arm alignments!

For example, the lower Right Hand in Section 3 (Adjusted Address) highlights the fact that the Right Shoulder is lower than the Left when the Grip is taken. Similarly, the lower Left Hand in Sections 4-6 (Start Up through the Top) indicates that, even with the Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn (10-13-B #2), there is some tilt of the Shoulders (due to the forward inclination of the spine). Finally, the gradual lowering of the Right Hand from Start Down through the end of the Follow-Through dramatically illustrates the gradual lowering of the On Plane Right Shoulder through the Downstroke and Release Interval. And the Right Shoulder reaches its maximum 'down' at the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position).

Bottom line: Use the pictures in the book for the purpose intended. But, at the same time, stay aware. Homer Kelley was never one to be constrained by convention, including his own.

Lot of Good Info Here!!!
