I was "explaining". "D, how can the right arm push on the way back when its on the front of the club? Seems like a pull to me." When I try to Straighten my Right Arm with Triceps muscle, I call it "Push". I'll add a third perspective: Lift . . . As Daryl has stated, when the right triceps is active, it pushes and gives width to the Stroke. As O.B. has stated, this Extensor Action pulls on the left arm, stretching it and likewise providing structure to the Stroke. But, this pushing/pulling Action (Non-Accelerating Thrust / 6-C-0 #2) does not move the Left Arm. For that to happen, the right arm and its right elbow action (bending and straightening) must lift (and lower) the left (7-3). This is an On Plane Action, of course, but it is nevertheless a lift. Otherwise, even when structured, the left arm and club (Primary Lever Assembly) will be simply drug around the body (the "disruptive Shoulder Turn Takeaway" / 10-6-B). Thus, it will be hopelessly Under Plane and therefore misaligned in relation to the Baseline of the Plane and the ball that rests upon it. This mistake can be, indeed must be, corrected by realigning at the Top, as happens in the Compensated Strokes of even fine players. But, why bother with all that when a simple solution is available? Namely, use an On Plane (Zone 3), Right Forearm Pickup (Zone 2) in conjunction with a perfect Pivot (Zone 1). __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
