3. In any event, the combination of Power Accumulators employed (Component #4) is totally independent of the Hinge Action (Component #10), Angled or otherwise.
Let me be the first to step in the proverbial bucket of poop (I'm being nice).

Does this mean that the so called "four barrel swingers" are living in wonderland, and are closet hitters?

I have found in my hitting that the right arm has an impossible task in overriding centrifugal force. Centrifugal force can certainly override the right arm, so it must be stifled. This is why it's mandatory for a hitter to create a platform, from which the right arm can blast. Centrifugal force is like playing with fire for the hitter. It's nice to have it take up the initial momentum in Start Down, but you better know what you're doing (expert-4 barrel). It's like lighting up a fuse connected to a box of explosives. It might be exciting to light it, but you better cut the fuse before it gets there. The hitter that lets the fuse burn a little too long suffers the consequences.

6-F-0: "It is almost exclusively Muscular Force, totally annulling and stifling any intrusion by Centrifugal Force."
