Excellent! I now have a second question. Does the right shoulder continue moving downplane in three barrel hitting, or thrusting downplane in 4 barrel hitting until the right arm is straight? This drive loading all the way to the straight arms position is the only way I feel as though I am hitting to Bejing. Is it fair to say that nothing moves upward until extensor action completely straightens the right arm downplane to aiming point?
The shoulder in hitting has to become a platform. In 4 barrel hitting, the shoulder begins and takes up the momentum, and stops just as quickly as it starts. The only way that I was able to make this change was to do weeks of zero pivot hitting (coming from the swinging background that I'd been taught). I'd agree that nothing moves up until the end of follow-through (both arms straight - about two feet past the ball).
I feel as though my right forearm has to pass my body before I get to arrive at finish. If the right shoulder actively continues downplane the right arm can't catch up. It doesn't take much centrifugal force for the right arm to be draging instead of driving.
