It was always my understanding that the #4 accumulator was loaded by moving the right shoulder in a way which has the left arm brace against the chest. I was always told (not by Yoda or anyone on this site), and it is not specifically stated in the book, that the turn the shoulders take on the back swing is the SAME PATH that the shoulders should take on the downswing. I found out Saturday that this is wrong. What I felt was the right shoulder going down. The left arm goes down instantly too. No independent pulling with the left arm. No pulling at all. It may feel like down to me, so I'll say it's DOWN when I explain it to you, but it's actually on plane moving down, out and forward. When in the past I had pushed the right shoulder out (to push on the left arm) I was over the top all of the time, unless I got lucky. It never worked very well, so, for many years I have been pulling the left arm down using left arm and shoulder muscle. What a waste. I wonder how many others have the same problem. Words must be chosen very carefully. You might say that the pressure point is against the chest, but to me it isn't. The left arm touches the chest and stays in that place and comes off that place during release, and you may feel some pressure there, but that's not the force that acts on the arm to carry it down plane to the release point. I haven't exactly figured it out yet but soon I'll be able to name the muscle, tendon or ligaments involved. Anyway, The #4 pressure point now really feels like the "Master Accumulator".
