I disagree (always have) about the swipe tag. From behind the runner, you may see the glove swing toward the runner, but unless there is a hard slap, there are times when you may never know if the glove actually touched the runner. For that reason I have a tendency to always shade a little toward the PP just to get a better angle at that possibility.
