Tom,

"Extension of the handpath is the main cause of "disconnection"."

This isn't true, it's not just extension that is the problem with being connected. Initiation is just as important with being connected to the rotational momentum.

I would say you will see just as many problems at initiation, as you would see from extension problems.
