Pivot alone? I have to tell the right hand to extend the arm. Watching Homer the right arm goes from an "L" position to a straight one past impact. How can Homer not be adding??? Seems to be a difference of opinion between BD, Yoda, BM and CE? Do I need to ask Homer?

And what opinion are you referring? Read 1-F. The action of the right arm is always driving due to the unfolding of the right elbow but in a Swing Stroke it adds no muscle power. I think LB, BD, and BM would not disagree on this.

Many people thought that Canton would reveal different ideologies between Ben, Brian and Lynn. It didn’t. Homer would have loved it. Ask him.

I still feel the pivot is the most misunderstood TGM procedure.

The Right Arm has contributed nothing but Motion for the Swinger, as opposed to Right Arm Action for the Hitter.

It cannot be 100% passive because of Extensor Action.

The push from the Right Triceps that pulls the Left Arm straight is constant. This steady effort to pull the Left Arm into a fixed length does not increase during the Downstroke or Release.

Just because you see the right arm straightening during the Follow Through doesn't mean you're "adding". Centrifugal Force (as opposed to active Right Arm Thrust for the Hitter) uncocks both the Swinger's Right Elbow and Left Wrist during Release.
