If true about swingers using left arm, then what do I do (if anything) with my right arm, besides the BRW?
Swingers are not left arm dominant, they are pivot dominant. As a swinger my right arm is never really passive. I feel extensor action all the way through to the finish which provides tremendous structure. My right arm is extremely important in my golf swing, it is just not activating the accumulators. Remember, the left arm is basically inert and has to be moved by the bending of the right arm and/or rotating torso. Your right forearm and #3 pp are used for plane line tracing.
