Jimmy -

It works very well and is experienced as much better sqaring of the ball over a wider range of locations immediately. This is good feedback to then improve trial and error learning of consistency.

With respect to "multiple planes", I would describe it in terms of a continnuumof adjustments for up vas down and inn vs out and slow vs fast and how these blend, for example, squaring the ball/plane match for better lined up collision and longer contact zone requires "earlier" batspeed for outside locations. Mechanically, this requires more THT/longer swing radius/higher load resistance to rotation/more separation/deeper contact for example.

Any specific questions you have about plane matching ?
