Nevertheless, the Extensor Action demands at least some Right Triceps activity in all Players. The Swinger's challenge is to have enough to maintain the Extensor Action, and yet not allow that Below-Plane stretching action to deteriorate into an On-Plane thrusting action, i.e., an actively driving Right Arm. To that extent, the Swinger's execution might be somewhat more difficult than the Hitter's, especially in the learning stage.

This is key. The swinger's extensor action must not be turned into a right arm thrust. It should instead feel like a constant right arm push away from the right shoulder and below the plane. It's almost like the right arm stays straight the whole swing - that's one feel I've found works. If you don't feel as if you bend your right arm, you cannot thrust with it.

You're on the right track, but be careful with the "don't bend rightarm" idea. Per the Basic Motion Curriculum in 12-5-1 #17, the RightForearm must fan (as it does when you clap your hands) and consequently theRight Elbow must bend almost immediately into the Start-Up. Otherwise, you willfind yourself locked into a very un-geometric Body Turn Takeaway.

Most of the golfing world thinks that the classic starting Triange Assembly of6-A-1 should be maintained for a considerable period into the Backstroke.G.O.L.F.ers know that the bending Right Elbow and the Magic of the RightForearm takeaway causes the Right Arm portion of the assembly to compressalmost immediately.
