In the case of the right arm swing....it's the driver not the car, just like most anything that involves skill. And take Homer's comment... Homer said the right arm swing is a beautiful procedure, doesn't get better than that...

Night all,

Agreed, DG. We're working as priorities permit to get that audio up for you. Stay tuned!
I am having trouble understanding how one "swings" with the right arm. If swinging is based upon a pulling type motion with the shoulders acting as a flywheel (as Yoda has clearly demonstrated) how on earth do you pull with the right arm?
When and how does the right arm swing?
What am I missing here guys?
Just a side note:
I changed to hitting with my irons last year using the recommend angle hinge action and it was the best iron year I've ever experienced. Hitting draws or fades by simply adjusting the grip accordingly, scary fun! Finally broke into the 60's on a somehwhat frequent basis (1 out 5 rounds).
And don't read too much into that as I played the same course over and over and it is by no means a challenging one. Just have very small elevated greens to which I was able to attack with the new found iron accuracy.
Left Arm Swingers can experience a similar Left Elbow problem if they attempt to Pull violently from the Top using Left Arm Muscle Power. That is because the Left Arm can only apply its Power backhanded, and its muscles therefore can make only a feeble contribution to the Stroke. If you attempt to use 'will' power to force the issue, you invite trouble. True Left Arm Power lies in its function as the Stroke Radius. And that Stroke Radius is not driven by the Left Arm itself, but by the Momentum Transfer of the Turning Body.
So, if you've got pain in your Left Elbow, stop pulling so hard with that Left Arm. Instead, learn to accelerate it with your Pivot. Not only will you hit the ball much further and with more accuracy, you'll also be able to trash that arm band.
Hi Lynn,
After the requisite hip slide, what should one feel 'moves' next? I know for a Swinger, it should be a 'pull' of some kind. But in this post, you appear to say that pulling with the left arm is a no-no. Should it be a right shoulder thrust with the hands aiming? This should be clear to me by now, but every time I think "hey, I've got it" something like this will surface and make me wonder.
Homer said, "I don't care what you pull with, just pull."
But somewhere in there i'm pretty sure Homer states that for swingers they should have an action similar to pulling an arrow from the quiver feather end first.
Homer said, "I don't care what you pull with, just pull."
So I've been told. But...
Lynn seems to not recommend the left arm in his above post.
Yes, the idea of the inert left arm and the Right Shoulder spinning the gyroscope. However, there is direct verbal evidence from, as well as photographic evidence of, tour players who do "other" things.
