[O.B.Left]

Nice Daryl,

So are you saying:

-Hogan didnt use a RFT?

-Hogan was pivot to hands? If the right shoulder goes back on a flat path to the turned shoulder plane and the right hand's #3 pressure point traces a straight plane line (more up than the shoulders turn in) wouldnt this be hands to pivot, RFT like Yoda's. The hands directing traffic?

-hogan didnt use extensor action? I dont doubt the left arm pushing out a bit. But how can you tell there is no right side EA? What about in follow through? He sure stretches that right arm out for a long time even when the left arm is bent.


His right elbow is bending hard, sure looks like EA and a shortening side to the triangle that cocks the left wrist, to my eye. Float loading with a bending right elbow adding to the left wrist cock while his lower body is moving left, taking up the slack in the left arm. Pivot lag. Know what you mean about the throwaway look, Ive often wondered it this is sort of a fairway bunker type shot with vertical hinging and a clean pick off. It looks like sand to me anyways. Easier to set up in the studio, maybe. Maybe the photographer asked him not to kick up too much sand after impact? Either that or he scooped it? Hogan?
