Bent right arm

Thanks 6bmike,I,m personally at a loss as to when the r/arm actually begins to straighten out,I mean,does the r/shoulder carry the B/arm to a point in d/swing and then begin to straighten out or,does it begin to straighten out as soon as d/swing starts,with the shoulder adding the extra push(or backboard,I like that).Thanks

No- the right arm does NOT straighten at the start of the downswing- thats going off plane - OTT. Even Hitters have a pivot start down that moves the right arm on plane before it straightens through the ball to low point. Checkout Lynn's Hiting v Swinging video- it was one of the first. It is in the video clips- Lynn Blake- 5th one down on the left.
