To accelerate the Clubhead from the Top, Swingers use Centrifugal
Throwout
Action and Hitters use Muscular
Drive-Out Action.
Accordingly, each uses the Right Shoulder in a very different way. Swingers
use it to actively 'drive,' or accelerate, the essentially inert
Left
Arm (the #4 Power Accumulator) into Impact. Hitters use it to take up the
initial slack during the Start Down and then as the 'equal and opposite
force'
backstop required to accelerate their Driving
Right Arm
(the #1 Power Accumulator) into Impact.
The
Swinger's active Right Shoulder accelerates the
Left Arm,
and
Centrifugal Force and its Throw-Out Action then powers the
Clubhead. The Right Arm remains passive -- except for its Right Triceps
Extensor Action and the #3 Pressure Point sensing and directing the Clubhead
Lag -- and thus the Stroke remains
Three-Barrel. In contrast, the
Hitter's
active Right Shoulder serves as the 'launching pad' for the
Right
Arm and its
Muscular Drive-out Action that
powers the Clubhead. Since the Right Arm then drives the entire Primary Lever
Assembly (
including the
Left Arm), the Full-Power
Hitting Stroke
can be properly classified as Four-Barrel.
