Im really struggling w/ this left arm right arm swing concept. Specifically for me, I think i understand the feeling of swinging w/ left arm. Left arm only drills and what that does for you pivot...Where it gets grey is right arms role then...specifically how the the pitch elbow and extensor action fit into this. Is extensor action another way of saying as you stated "right arm role of reinforcing"?. If right arm is passive how do you provide structure of pitch elbow and extensor action?
Great question. The Right Arm for a Swinger is Passive. That means that the Right Arm doesn't Accelerate in such a way that it would move either the Primary or Secondary Levers.
During Startdown and the Downstroke, the force placed on the Power Package can be considerable and can collapse its structure (flying Wedges). Extensor Action works by check-reining the Left Arm so the structural alignments remain undisturbed.
Here's how it works.
Make a fist with your Right hand. Extend your Right arm in front of you like you're throwing an uppercut punch (like the Tiger Wood fist pump). Your right elbow is bent and Pitched and the palm of your right fist is facing you.
Grasp your right fist with your left hand and straighten the Left Arm. Now, try to bend your left elbow but resist by not allowing your right elbow to bend any farther. You're using right Triceps Muscle and the force direction is below plane.
As you resist, your right arm is not accelerating and the Power Package becomes rigid enough for the structure to remain stable against Pivot forces. It only requires enough Right Triceps resisting force to maintain a rigid Power Package Structure.
