Thanks, Whip, for your very precise response.



Could you expand on the difference between an Automatic Flicking Action and a Non-Automatic Flicking Action, please? It seems to me that one would always have to initiate the Flicking Action with a deliberate maneuver and that after this initial move the rest of the Action would be automatic.

And what about the Snap, Random Sweep, Full Sweep options? Can you do Float Loading with, say, Full Sweep Release? Or do these variations not really apply to Float Loading because loading and release are usually simultaneously?

So to expand on this text( "then with a flicking action--automatic or non-automatic") From 10-19-B--that is the subject of question, let's look at the dictionary's definition of flick to get a better idea of what homer meant by the term. Maybe by reading the following definitions and sections you will understand why 10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING can be executed with automatic and non-automatic releases, with varying degrees of sharpness to the loading and unloading actions

"flick*1 *
n.
1.a. A light quick blow, jerk, or touch: a flick of the wrist; gave my horse a flick with the reins...."

From 6-N-O RELEASE TYPES
"The two types differ in that:
1. The Automatic is triggered mechanically--the Non-Automatic is a deliberate muscular manipulation
2.The automatic drives the hands at the aiming point--the Non-Automatic drives the hands to their impact location
3. There may be a "starting to hit" in the Non-Automatic but not with the Automatic

From 7-22 POWER PACKAGE LOADING ACTION "...as sharply as possible, as gradually as possible and somewhere in between--noting it's approximate fraction of the arc"

From 7-24 POWER PACKAGE RELEASE
"There are only two release types, Automatic and Non-Automatic, then like the loading action, it has three points for the unloading action--as early as possible, as late as possible and somewhere In between, noting again, it's approximate fraction of the arc
