@8cspohn I think he said to stay outside of the striking lanes, not that they are on the outside. he doesnt say anything about retraction, he mentions that once in the 'outside' you are potentially further away from the rear/ back hand (ie the cross) hope that helps..

So, your saying the striking lanes are to the outside of the body. Why is the striking lane to the outside of the body and not down the center-line of the body?, Why is it he does not retract his arm but you force him to retract his arm?, Just asking not meant to upset the cart.
