Is it the turning over of the left wrist through impact zone that causes (eventually) the left arm to straighten out once past impact? My left arm keeps folding quickly after impact and I notice that I have a habit of not turning my left wrist over.

Wondered if there was a connection there.

Thanks,

Hoganfan,

Hmmmm.....

Great question - I've been sitting here, for the first time in a while, mimicking a swing to try to figure out what causes the left arm to fold. I suspect it has to do with the natural progression of the joint movements - meaning, left wrist uncocks, left arm straightens to follow through, then left wrist re-cocks, then left arm folds. Not sure though - perhaps someone more knowledgable, or maybe someone into kinesiology can elaborate more.

However, its been my experience that when the left arm folds, its an indication of a full swivel. So maybe the turning of the wrist does have something to do with it, but I am thinking it has the opposite effect that you described.

In the immortal words of one Roger Waters,

Is there anybody out there?

Sorry I could not provide better direction, but loved the question.
