Yoda - I don't understand this statement.

"Once the Right Shoulder has Delivered the Power Package to Release, the Right Elbow must straighten, and the Left Arm and Club is driven by that action. Otherwise, nothing moves!"

You seem to be implying that the straightening right arm actively drives the left arm and club in a swinger's action. I thought that the downswing pivot action catapults the left arm away from the torso when the downswing pivot action subsides and that the left arm continues to move targetwards because of the momentum gained from this catapulting force. I therefore presume that the right arm straightens passively because the right hand is conjoined to the left hand at the grip end of the club, and the right hand must move as fast as the left hand. In other words, I do not perceive that the straightening right arm is actively driving the left arm and club in a swinger's action, but merely "keeping pace" (= having enough active muscle contractile force to move the right hand at the same speed as the left hand).

Am I wrong?

You are right! A lot of my understanding of HK's writing comes from other sources - primarily from your archived posts. You have a great explicatory gift when it comes to making HK's obtuse prose more readily understandable.

Jeff.
