Right forearm question

[Mike O]

Heck ever since I put in that mini-fridge and cut the hole in my couch . . . what's the point of moving off it???

On a serious note . . . Chris what Mike O has just told you in a very short concise paragraph is more important to your game and changing your swing than you will ever know. Mike knows what he's talking about in a big way . . . listen up.

But . . .

He's still a freakin' PSYCHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

There is never enough "Ovalteen" in the world- especially when you really need it!! P.S. If it wasn't for the occasional swimsuit photo's that you post here- you would have been in the fridge long ago! I've got 2950 forum members PM'ing me daily in regards to why I have not finished the job! Oh! How's the sofa feeling?

Sofa is good . . . until the spring gets you . . .

The right forearm is what lifts and drops the left arm (controlling secondary hinge) using the plane line as its guide as the pivot (power package transport)turns...

Sounds like one of Moe Normans swing thoughts - Body turns and arms swing up....

The right arm wants to straighten first on the take-away and then on the down stroke. But it is stuck holding the club with the right hand as part of the Flying wedge assembly. Just its luck being locked to the master accumulator #4- the left arm.

So what is left for it to do... stay on plane and apply extensor action as it striaghtens. Not so passive is it?

As a swinger, this point always seems to throw me; what differentiates this sensation from hitting? It does feel (to me, at least) like my right arm is driving; without this sensation, my right arm collapses.

The right arm is always driving to become straight. This might be what you feel.
The difference is that a Hitter drives an angle directly to the ball...
and a Swinger cranks his gyro- right shoulder- to "ignite” the blast off of the left arm, the fourth accumulator and whirls the clubhead. This arc of approach “freewheels” (a non tgm term) the Flying Wedges. Since the right half of the wedge extends to the right arm, you will feel it- it just can’t muscle and push the shaft near impact. Trust Newton and let the head whirl.

back to the egg.

When swinging think right side, not right arm. When I'm hitting I actually focus on straightening the right arm into impact. When I'm swining I just think of firing the right shoulder into impact while rotating the left arm. 6B Mike's explanation is right on. I never think of pulling, I'm pushing the right side, which in essence forces the left side to pull.

TBall,

This is a very useful and concise post. Thanks!

I'm still incubating this one !I believe you must PULL if swinging?It is certainly what I am trying to do,as I tend to have a certain amount of right arm participation.The "non TGM"term is "confusing".Right shoulder gyro is also confusing-for a swinger-and ,also ,I believe,wrong.

Still at work (no book) but I believe Homer and for a fact- Lynn- speak of the right shoulder acting as a Gryo to crank up the flywheel (Right arm/right side). The right shoulder is the force that blasts the left arm off the chest. Accum #4, #2 then #3 is a pulling action of monitored by pp2.

Any thoughts folks?
