Standing erect with your left arm held out straight ahead and level to the ground on a horizontal plane, your left arm forming a 90 degree angle at the shoulders. Your open left palm held vertical to the ground. Holding the shoulders still (zero out the pivot), move your left arm across your chest to about a 45 degree angle with the shoulders while maintaining the left palm vertical to the ground. Drop the left arm down onto the inclined plane while maintaining the left palms vertical to the ground alignment. (This is the check for Horizontal Hinging Alignment compliance at various places in startup BTW). Now place your right hand on your left wrist in a quasi golf like fashion. With the Right Forearm now in control of the left arm, the left arm inert, fan the right arm back to its 90 degree or Address position on the inclined plane. Go back and forth between Address and 45 degrees. The degree of fanning vs bending in the right arm, when assuming a real golf grip, is to some degree a function of the right elbow position. I think. Please advise.

Dear Bewildered,

I understand what you’re saying. Now, don’t ever (unless it’s a trick shot) move your right elbow in a sawing motion again unless its during release. You are correct in believing that your right elbow bend needs to be about 90 degrees to match a swing plane on the elbow plane. Please see my previous post in this thread.

The Elbow is guided by the right shoulder and left arm. Where is it guided to (pointing behind you or downward)?..is the result of Wrist Action at Start-up,,Swivel or Single Action.

The Right Elbow is never in control of anything and especially the left arm. The left arm checkreins the right forearm from unbending (and thereby moving the hands away from the left shoulder) and the Right Shoulder controls the raising of the left arm……….

Extensor action take-away is a “bent over dumbbell shoulder fly” with a bent right arm. Ask your fitness instructor to show you how it’s done. Do one. Make a fist in your right hand. Grab the fist with your left hand and do a Dumbell bent over shoulder fly. See what happens to the Left Arm,, it raises magically.

The reason that your #3 pressure point is directly oppossed to the primary lever is because your Single Action Wrist Action caused it to be there when the Single Action Wrist Action is combined with Extensor Action during the Take-away and Backswing.

Extensor Action combined with my start-up swivel will move my right elbow to a position below the Hands when the shoulder raises the left arm.

Extensor Action: Do not Fan the elbow like a Chicken Wing by holding the right hand steady and the elbow flops around. Its kind of like holding the elbow stationary and fanning the right hand, except that the elbow moves up and down and away from your body (if you have the flexibility)
