Thanks for your input. I obviously didn't understand how the hitter starts the hitting action when I posted that question. I have now found a video by LB in his section of the video gallery, which was produced in 2004. In that video, he states that the hip only moves to take up slack, and that the right shoulder is kept back and not thrust downplane, and that the right arm is actively thrust in a straight line towards the ball away from the right shoulder. I now understand the hitting action somewhat better. However, I still would like to better understand what activates power accumulator number 4 in a hitting action. In a swinging action, I imagine that the right shoulder thrust causes upper torso rotation therefore ensuring increased lag pressure at PP4 in the initial downswing, which is eventually released when the downswing pivot action abates. What happens regarding loading and release at the PP4 point in a hitter?
By the way, where can I find your video called "hitters row"?
I also don't understand your comment that "one cannot feel CF because it is a clubface motion". I thought that CF was a clubhead motion, and not a clubface motion. I also thought that a swinger should still feel lag pressure at PP3 during the CF action to avoid clubhead throwaway.

clubface- my bad, meant to type clubHEAD. Do a search using Hitter's Row- the link should show in a reply and you get to read other commnets in the thread. Might be in the Lynn Blake Reality TV section of the vids.
Argh, my fault Green man!
I wrote with my brain disconnected at that time .
I meant of course down under the plane:
The right shoulder must not drop down under the shoulder plane but must drive down the shoulder plane!
What a hawkeye Lynn! I corrected the post!
By the way, thanks again for all the valuable instruction you provide here; with your help my game improved a lot since my first post and I can tell you my ball now knows what lag and compression mean!
Yoda - I would appreciate a comment on the "correct" action of the right shoulder in a hitter's full swing. It is my understanding that the right shoulder must absorb reactively (in a Newtonian sense) the push action of the right arm/forearm against the PP1 point. However, as Yodeli states, any attempt to keep the right shoulder back will cause one to "run out of right arm" in the downswing. I therefore presume that the right shoulder must actively move downplane to support the right forearm in its hitting action. If correct, how does its movement differ from the right shoulder thrust movement that initiates/activates/supports a swinger's downswing pivot action?
I second Jeff's in his question and I'm curious of the answer.
If you can also drop a line about that "Incident CF feel while hitting" I talked about, my mystery would be solved and I'd the happiest man in the world!
