Once you get that feel, you can 'add' to it - but no amount of wasted effort 'trying' to get there will do it

Start slow, and small and BUILD speed
Yes EdZ! That's exactly what I feel. Like swinging a sledgehammer or something...you start the hammer in a swing and the momentum of it's own weight takes over and keeps it going back the rest of the swing.

...and it's not likey you will bend your arm much with a sledgehammer...it just wouldn't be as natural. You would be using more muscle power to LIFT it, not SWING it. If you know what I mean.

This is key for me really...I personally can't imagine swinging with a bent left (target side) arm.
