Chuck identified the elbow position related to aiming point in the above. I was curious how others defined "stiff-wrist slapping motion" in the first paragraph.
My interpretation of this section is maintaining the frozen right wrist bend as the number 3 accumulator rolls into impact and the left wrist begins to uncock. The slapping is the #3 pressure point through the ball. Stiff wrist...Slapping...? Seems it would only apply to the right wrist. This is part and parcel of the swinging procedure in 12-2-0.
Any interpretations of this "sensory-visual" term Homer has given us?
How do you slap????

Bagger,
The Slap is a sharp smack with the palm of the Right Hand and with a Bent Right Wrist. It is the Swinger's Major Basic Stroke (10-3-B) delivered using the Arc of Approach procedure (2-J-3-A).
The Punch is a straight line thrust of the Right Forearm and Bent Right Wrist. It is the Hitter's Major Basic Stroke (10-3-A) delivered using the Angle of Approach procedure (2-J-3-B).
Slapping or Punching, the entire Right Forearm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1) -- the On-Plane Right Forearm with the Bent (4-A-2), Level (4-B-1) and Motionless (Frozen) Right Wrist, the Lag-Loaded Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point and Clubshaft -- is thrown (Swinging) or driven (Hitting) into Impact per 7-3.
As always, Educated Hands control the Stroke, utilizing the Lag-Loaded #3 Pressure Point to trace the Straight Plane Line (10-5-A SwingingArc of Approach or 10-5-E HittingAngle of Approach) and thus maintain the essential Geometry per 5-0.
