To utilize the full power of the four barrel Hitting stroke, which (if any)
of the components in the basic Hitting pattern (12-1-0)need to be altered.
I am thinking, probably number 11 (Pressure Points) but possibly number 10
(Hinge Action), number 19 (Lag Loading) but probably not number 20 (Trigger
Type).

Ironically, Triad, the three components you mention that will be
affected are not. The one you mention that won't be affected is.
And then there's the one you didn't mention. As a professional money
manager, I can identify with that state of affairs: I have bought many stocks
that have gone down; I have sold many stocks that have gone up; and I have
let more than my share simply 'get away.' Hopefully, we'll both do better
next time!
Here's the rundown on the necessary 12-1-0 Pattern changes:
1. Component #4 (Stroke - Variation). Add Power Accumulator #4, i.e.,
the Right Shoulder Turn Thrust as the initial acceleration of the Loaded
Power Package per 2-M-4. Component #11 (Pressure Point Combination) is
unaffected because Pressure Point #4 is not added. Unlike the Swinger
who uses Right Shoulder Turn Thrust to actively drive the Left Arm through
Pressure Point #4, the Hitter uses his Bent Right Arm to drive the Left Arm
through Pressure Point #1. Accordingly, he does not 'crank the Swinger's
Gyroscope' through Pressure Point #4, i.e., the contact point of the Left Arm
at the side. Instead, the Right Shoulder merely overcomes the initial inertia
of the Club -- takes up the 'slack' -- and then serves as the Right Arm's
Launching Pad.
2. Component #20 (Trigger Type). Combine the Right Arm Throw with the
Delivery Path Throw (10-20-D).
3. Component #24 (Release Type). Substitue the Automatic Snap Release
(10-24-E) for the Non-Auto Sweep.
Though it doesn't affect the Hitter's Four Accumulator Power, let me add a
final thought. Component #9 (Address) is the Standard Variation (10-9-A) with
its Bent Left and Flat Right Wrists. This is the same as the Swinger's
Address. It was Homer Kelley's intention to change as few Components as
possible in order to ease the transition from the Drive Loading
Pattern to the Drag Loading Pattern or vice versa.
Nevertheless, once the 'customizing stage' is reached, he felt that it is
more advantageous for the Hitter (with his 'carry back' Motion and Loading)
to start from the Impact position (10-9-B). That way, the Impact Alignments never
change. He did not feel that way for the Swinger, whose 'Swing Back'
Motion and Loading benefits from the Standard Address conditions.
