While the awareness of swing curvature is valuable when figuring out why some rotations may feel better than others,
794
- it should not be taken as a hard rule and limit what patterns are being used.
795
- Negative curvature swings can feel more natural than positive curvature swings on specific setups,

- and setting expectations that the mapper can exploit both swing curvatures
798
