Hi OB.

If I go very slowly, I can drop my back shoulder on purpose or turn it to the target on purpose. I can also pretend to hold a baseball bat and just cut loose at the ball. Are you saying that while dropping/rotating the back shoulder, you also the fire the right arm on purpose?

I think I get that if I drive my back elbow to my front foot or slide my back hip forward launching everything else. or is that really a swing?

If I imagine an ax handle and plant to chop that tree down with pp 3 as my sharp edge am I doing a shoulder/arm combo to good effect or am I wasting energy?

I am hoping to emulate Yoda's motion on purpose, and make the world safe for democracy through the peace and serenity of contemplation of the dimples. "I see trees of green, red roses too... people shaking hands saying how do you do ?...and I think to myself what a wonderful world." L.Armstrong

These ideas help me dismiss the challenges of my day as I'm sure is the case for all of us.

Really? They could break their bats without hitting anything, including their backs? Thats interesting. Some serious forces in play there. As for the hockey players , ya for sure but for a slap shot you do hit the ice well before the puck and bend the crap out of the shaft in the process prior to impact. I sometimes think in those terms for golf especially for Hitting, bending the shaft against the turf but........for golf you do have to hit the ball before the ground, of course.

Re hand speed, Homer thought each of us had our own maximum speed and no amount of effort could increase it. However I think that more effort typically results in an earlier Release, less that ideal for maximum distance. So in this manner each of us has our own ideal Hand Speed. Which allows for maximum Trigger delay and therefor maximum Clubhead Speed.

So hammer it but remember its a Swingers Release Trigger which for maximum distance must still be Delayed. In a mechanical sense this is saving some lever extension for the ball. The boxer extends his right arm through his target but dances around prior , trying to sneak his right shoulder closer to his opponents head prior to actively extending. Same for golf, you dont want to make contact with the ball with the lever nearing fully extended and so we must get our Right Shoulder close to the ball prior to finally extending. There is also the degrees of rotation of the primary lever vis a vis time consideration for Snap Release, meaning added clubhead speed.

Id say a non automatic Release Trigger form of thrusting can be pretty dang forceful , violent almost, but the timing requirements , slow start down for instance are even more critical than normal. Especially for a Hitter (for whom its often easier to just shorten the backswing). The Swinger can load hard with his Pivot , Drag Loading, ground up 6-M-1 and just keep the left wrist turned to plane prior to Triggering and he's good. In fact if he doenst non auto a Left Wrist Throw he'll get an automatic version when the Hands reach the bottom of their Delivery Path , the small pulley wheel of the Endless Belt Automatic Snap Release. The Hitter really has to sneak that right shoulder down to the ball and then fire. It seems that way for me anyways. The On Plane #2 Angle Trigger, the Thrusting by itself is not Throwaway. Because the Thrusting, Throwing is done against the Pressure Points on the Top of the Shaft as opposed to the aft.
