I -F. RIGHT ARM OR LEFT The "mystery" of the Mechanics of Golf fades away when Right Arm participation is understood (6-B-1). Whether its participation is active or passive is difficult to detect visually because in either case the Left Arm is ALWAYS SWINGING and the Right Forearm is ALWAYS DRIVING. But it is always a Left Arm Stroke unless the Right Elbow replaces the Left Shoulder as the center of the Club head Arc. (10-3-K)This, alone, does not properly separate "Hitters" and "Swingers" because it is possible to "Swing" the Club with either Arm but only the Right Arm can actually "Hit". 10-3-K. BAT The term "Bat" indicates that the Club is being accelerated by the Right Arm (1-F) but always with an Axe Handle procedure per 2-K, 6-B-1 and 10-11-0. It is always a "Hit" per 10-19-A, except as noted in 1-F and 7-19. Study 7-1. The center of the Club head orbit is readily transferred from the Left Shoulder to the Right Elbow. The Right Arm now is actually driving the Club head rather than the Left Arm and the Flat Left Wrist is now helpful but not essential so... There is no way in the world a golf stroke can be accomplished without the right arm driving. A driving right arm does not mean it is pushing against a pulling Left arm. It means it is driving to be straight- it is always driving, not always PUSHING. A major difference because pushing is an action and driving is a motion. It is hard to see the difference between the motion of accum3 and accum1. So.. if you like to bent the left wrist and push with it with the right arm- go ahead ... and good luck. If you want to go with a Right Arm Swing, the "Bat" - go ahead and good luck. But to me a flat Left wrist is an Imperative for all strokes especially Swinging. It is the left arm Flying Wedge. I don't play without them. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
