We have only one day, and the test subjects must come from our own group. So, the definitive proofs and samples necessary for a doctoral thesis or professional journal White Paper are a bit much to hope for. However, I will be pleased if we are able to quantify, however loosely, the very definite difference in the physics of the two actions.

Homer Kelley contended that Hitting and Swinging seemed "equally efficient" but also that they "do not mix." We will bring the resources of TPI and the Mastermind of those assembled to bear on those statements made so long ago. If we are at all successful, we may be able to contribute something new.
