So, Claude taught Tom the "Right Forearm Flying Wedge".. Who Taught Claude?


Uh oh? "Houston, we have a Problem".

Hitting, the Right Hand moves down a Straight Line Path to the Ball and the Elbow Location Loaded Directly behind the Primary Lever supports that motion. This Elbow Action insures that Right Arm Thrust will Uncock the Left Wrist. Downward Angle of Attack. This is the same Elbow Action of a "Shot Putt-er" with a different Wrist rotation. It's a Punch Motion.

Swingers, Side Arm Throw, like Ben Hogan aptly demonstrates. This Elbow Action is very compatible with CF and the Throwout of the Secondary Lever. It's a Pitch Motion. You can Drive the Right Forearm with the Power Package without it causing the Left Wrist to Uncock. This occurs in the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.

Both Actions have some of both Motions. The Swinger has mostly Fanning but still with a little of the Punch. Hitters have mostly Punch, but with a little Fanning.
