I've asked this question about the role of extensor action for swingers before and i must admit my understanding is still clouded with fog. What i don't understand is i thought a swingers right arms were supposed to straighten due to centrifugal force, but surely the tension extensor action creates inhibits this. Does this mean a degree of inhibition is acceptable for a swinger?
YodasLuke,
i'm also unsure about your example. I'm not sure your analogy works with the golf swing, Isn't the person only kept at a constant distance when pressure point #4 is place. However, when this is released during the left arm blask off for the swinger wouldn't the same constant pressure result in the right arm straightening and thus using your analogy pushing the person away? Which from what i've read is indicative of a hit.
I really would appreciate any replies, i just can't get my head around this concept.
Cheers,
Danny
Reading the page on extensor action, you'll find that "This stretches but does not move the Left Arm and produces a structural rigidity..."
In my analogy, if the person slowly moves away under his own power, my right arm can straighten 'passively'. But, I can still give him some help (drive out) in getting him out of my face. Also remember, in hitting, you're resisting the deceleration of the hands with muscular thrust.
Swinging versus Hitting as far as trigger types is active Left Wrist versus active Right Elbow. (7-20)
