[O.B.Left]

Talk to me . . . . Best I could do fast on pulling it together . . .

How does this part work . . .

externally rotated right shoulder , rounding off somewhat while his left side bend tilts more into the ball . Also note how its his pivot which is regaining flexion whilst rotating that shifts the left arm out a bit and then down, rather than launchpad and right shoulder pushing down on the left arm

Interesting language you're using there. Is that a dialect of TGM? Not sure I follow you , interesting stuff though , really. Im interested in what it is that drops the left arm down. You saying there's something in the pivot that drops the arms? As opposed to a vertical drop of the hands plain and simple. I dunno.

But I gotta say (again) , the left arm isnt on the inclined plane given any #3 angle so why would you want the right shoulder pushing the left arm down? Down to where? Somewhere above the ball? Anywhere in particular? Why not pushing the Power Package or the Hands or the #3 or the LCOG?

If you draw a line from the ball through the #3 pp I think you'll see Hogan as having his right shoulder on the same plane angle at Top and in the second photo , Startdown. Then in the third photo he's already in to release ......dont look at his left wrist cock look at his lengthening right arm........ its started .....4, 1, 2, 3 right? And since he's dropped to a lower plane the Hands are on a lower plane than the original TSP and the Right Shoulder has stopped moving towards the ball gone higher than the original TSP.

Or maybe Ive had too much egg nog? The camera angle is off there too but Ive seen Hogan;s hands lower than the TSP really early in a bunch of photos. Im thinking higher than TSP is way worse , than lower. WAY.

Here's a similar photo that shows the ball for any of you guys who know how to draw lines. A line from ball to #3pp will have the left arm above it. A line from right shoulder to left arm will extend out way above the ball no? I dunno.
