Whom Ever,

Identify three(3)(III) elements of the swing and explain, in as few words as possible (KISS,) the difference between the two methods.

If there isn't three(3)(III, do two(2)(II) or one. Whatever.

Using batters as example will not help. Most people haven't seen them in a way that allows evaluation or comparison. Just explain it so someone can understand it.
