Although not complete or totally clear, I was more excited than frustrated by Azingers comments. He tells us how to or what might perform an action ("pound the ball"), and, in the process, he leaves no room for an active left arm.
That is, if anyone's telling you to pull with your left, in order to "pound the ball", they're telling you wrong.

Pull with your left to start the gyroscope (if swinging), but don't activate the left to "pound the ball." Left should be inert. Through impact left hand doesn't perform, but only is maintained in certain postions (left does not perform or cause hinge action).
