Lynn would I be correct in thinking that other than in Delivery the Arm Motion is always Independent, in the ideal? Take Startup for instance: There's some independent Arm Motion there too isnt there? The Right Shoulder turns Flat Back , the Right Forearm Picks Up. Two vectors that net out with the Hands riding the selected Plane Angle. Ah cant do that very easily with a hanky under the arms either.
Yes, O.B., the Arms constitute Zone #2 with its Club Control, Power and Force. Their assignments are independent but coordinate with Zones #1 (Body) and #3 (Hands).

That would make the entire body similar to a multi levered system but with only a few of the levers actually aligned to the target, the ball or aiming point (though they all interact in a coordinated fashion with a common goal). It would require a tension free connection between the Arms and body at the Shoulders to prevent the Pivot from dragging the Arms in their unique direction Id imagine.
The Arms themselves arent exactly moving in the exact same direction either since they both have their own unique circular ranges of motion and therefore unique centers to their respective circles. How do we best harness the two arms to overcome their somewhat divergent ranges of motion? Do we try to make the two arms like one big arm , as if bound together? Or do we designate the Left Arm's "center" as the Center of the Arm Swing via Extensor Action? Making the left arm the radius of the circle, but string like? I personally am going to go with the last option after trying both.
That would make the Left Arm like a string and the Arms to Shoulders connections tension free. Good things to double check, especially in a tournament where its easy to tense up. Lest we end up fighting..... ourselves.
See 2-N-1 for more on Vectors and the glossaries definition of PIvot to sense the importance of the Right Forearm in all of this. In the end the Right Forearm which at first seemed so un aligned to anything, at times, becomes "omnipotent" in Homers words.
I dont think you could achieve it all without Extensor Action. Hmm rod and claw maybe? I dunno. One man I know is uniquely positioned to answer this question.....might take a steak dinner to get it out of him though. Where the hecks my "to do" list.
"The Right Elbow Center is just what it says. Namely, you Hit (or Swing per the last paragraph) from the Elbow itself. It is a Stiff-Wristed "Batting" Motion with the Right Arm Driving the Club and with the Elbow serving as the Center of the Motion."
I thought this was great.
Can we think of driving the elbow toward the ball? Or would that be wrong ? Driving PP#3 if not done correctly can cause throw away. Would a good swing thought be to drive your shoulder or elbow at the ball instead of hand? I only say this because the shoulder is the "beginning of the chain" So when driving your shoulder instead of the hand it might be easier for some to maintain that bend in the right elbow on the way down.

I don't think so.
According to the bold text we can think of driving the club towards the ball with the right hand And we move the right hand by rotating the right forearm around a "stationary" right elbow.
I take it as a given that this right elbow turns together with the pivot as soon as it has been reconnected with the pivot in the down stroke and that this togetherness remains intact until the pivot has met its delivery requirements. I am no quite sure what those requirements are though.
If Yoda would care to go deeper into those delivery requirements I for one would appreciate it.
7-23 Your Pivot delivers the Right Elbow to the "Pulley" (Release Point).
Sound realistic but when I swing with the idea that the pivot delivers I get a right elbow that is just left way behind. I have to think right elbow delivers the pivot or I am just late.

However the player accomplishes the feat, the Pivot (via the Hip Action) must move the Right Shoulder at the same speed as the Power Package. This action will maintain the Stressed Clubshaft (Clubhead Lag with its Pressure Point Pressures) and will delay the Release of the employed Power Accumulators until the Right Elbow begins to straighten.
