OK... back to the topic.

In Swinging, the LEFT ARM is a ROPE, or is ROPE-LIKE. What is the RIGHT ARM then in Swinging? A STRUT, a PISTON with a CLAMP, or what? Some players may even visualize both arms as Ropes, especially with some Float Loading Procedures.

What do you think?

Lagster,

A strut if swinging for Extensor Action. A piston if hitting for for Drive, a clamp on the left arm to keep the Flying Wedges on plane.

As a swinger, if I think of the "arms" as ropes I lose extensor action and end up with missed shots. Either missing the sweet spot or releasing too soon resulting in a fat shot. If someone has a very fast pivot and good flexibility, "arms as ropes" may be a solution. I don't mind thinking of the left arm as a rope, as long as its a tight one. Float loading still requires structure. An oily left wrist and good timing of the pivot is all thats needed.
