I too was moving from hitting to swinging..



in swinging, the right shoulder goes down plane delivering a Pitch elbow position ie the right elbow: keep in front of the hip thereafter. The pushing of the right shoulder will push the left arm ie pp 4 1 2, YET PULL and DRAG the forearm+ Right elbow.thus passively loading pp3.. Thus a tight feeling .

if you want to do karate chop.. make sure the #p 3 is above aft of the shaft so that pp3 will always trace down plane. and the extensor action pulls the Club instead of the thumb or arms.. slightly different which will facilitate pitch elbow ; On plane motion..

Also make sure that PP# 4 1 2 is all loaded and tight and kept tight with proper RFT ...for full swing and PP 1 2 is loaded for non full swing. for assembly loading.. And release of right Elbow will happen( instead of making it happen) very very late.

this is what i think.. hope it helps.
