Right you are
I have probably blithered on this point before but right arm participation was my epiphany. It would have been a theophany but I still have to execute! Golf for a right hander is a left handed game is what those that meant well told me! Initially I favored hitting because it reinforced the discovery of my bionic right arm! But as Yoda confirms the right arm is not passive for swinging. I think muscular thrust is far more drastic than most people think...and are not really doing it when they think they are. Why? Extensor Action was unknown to them in both thought and practice. Extensor action had me feeling that my right tricep was driving when in reality it was not. I thought I had "switter's multiple personalities' disorder for a while there. I even thought about becoming a hitter! So...I think learning to hit is helpful in understanding the possibilities of the right arm...then you decide. For twenty years I attempted to keep my right hand out of it, only to reduce my right arm to a shackled villian. Bent and level right wrist takes care of the flapping right hand...now let the right arm's attempt to always straighten along with the corresponding checkrein of the left arm provide the structure you need. If you are a righty it is a right handed game. Period. That way you can giver er' hell!
