Lefty lose, righty right?

Tommy Armour though he had never seen anybody better than Nelson. but, Locke's advice to me was from the point of "how to be" not "how to swing"

Help me out here a bit. It took me a long time to understand that the left arm should be treated as though it is linguini...eldente. It does not move as much as it is moved. What moves it? The pivot, or the piston-like right arm. So other than giving the left arm the structure of a long as can be radius, courtesy of the below plane tug of extensor action, the left arm contributes little else (debunking all the golf is a left-sided game drivel) To me a shoulder turn takeaway is what results from attempting to take a straight left arm back with the arm itself (straight because of muscular tension not extensor action) Now I would freely admit that my left arm has to move up my chest on some kind of path. I know that Mac O Grady uses the nipple as some sort of land mark. To my way of understanding ONLY the right forearm (because it is on plane with the sweetspot) can provide the three dimensions neccessary. I'm sorry if I am missing the point. I know your expertise is far greater than my own. Work with me!
