I think that you blast it from above the nipple line to below the nipple line...



In this video I tried to show the stage where the pivot carries the power package to...then the acc 4 releases...and the right shoulder appears to stop rotating toward the target and goes down whilst the acc 4 releases...the left shoulder moves up quite alot as the axis tilt becomes more evident.

But the left arm moves almost independently after "blast down" of the left arm.
Nice work . . . if you notice in the slow part . .. there are TWO components to the #4 accumulator motion . . . UP AND DOWN and BACK AND FORTH . . . they have to be sequenced properly just like the pivot inorder to have the hands stay IN AND ON PLANE . . . I think this is why Homer said that #4 was the master accumulator . . . a. because it must release inorder for the other accumulators to release AND b. because if you get too much down early the club get "stuck" behind you or if you get to much out early you hands are over the plane.

There is fo' sho' a big relation to HOW the pivot must work inorder for #4 to release to keep the hands on plane . . . Steep plane . . . more slidy pivot to keep the hands IN and not flying out over the plane early. Flat plane more rotation to get the club OUT and keep it from getting stuck and not getting to low point b/c the angle of attack is too shallow.

I had a nice conversation with Eddie Cox on this . . . #4 has to release DOWN your chest. Eddie said you need to feel like you are taking your sternum into your left bicept in a way that blasts the arm more DOWN and less out. If you blast the left arm OUT early the hands stay to HIGH and you have to do some weird stuff to get the club to shallow out (stand up, shrink your arms) otherwise you just bend the plane line left and become Craig Parry.
