Essentially, you resist it with the hands- pressure points- that's what they are there for and that's certainly the case on a procedural level. If we drop back one step then it's the hands and we can add the right forearm since it should be directly in-line and opposed to the on-plane loading motion of the entire lever assembly (7-3), and so on down through the pivot- so sure all of it resists the loading motion (hopefully) but ideally - procedureally- you're aware of the hands.

Key differences between Hitting and Swinging. In Hitting you need to "Carry back" the entire lever assembly AND you load and resist the motion of the entire lever assembly- much different than swinging. In Hitting if you get any secondary lever assembly momentum on it's own and separate from the left arm - then you've just destroyed the whole nature of the system i.e. loading motion, rhythm, etc and you're in trouble.
