Just curious.

Mr. Kelley gave pretty good guidelines for A.Is to follow.
If flexible and/or quick, SWING.
If inflexible and/or strong, HIT.
Per the Preface: "Hitting and Swinging seem equally efficient. The difference is in the players. If strong -Hit. If quick - Swing. If both - do either. Or both."
Per 12-1-0: "...most useful to the stronger players."
Per 12-2-0: "...most useful to the more flexible players."
I have a student who is flexible and strong, he gets better results swinging.
So far, following this rule of thumb, I get pretty good results with my students.
