Muscle Madness And Hinge Action

Lagster,

I am no biomechanic, but I really don't think that is the case.

The Horizontal Hinge Action is actually the natural product of the Body Rotation and the Arm Swing. To the extent the Left Wrist remains Vertical to the ground, i.e., the horizontal plane, then we have a Hinge Action, not a Swivel Action.

And the natural Arm Swing will -- I think -- produce the muscular activity you have described.
