Extensor Action And Weight Shifts
Originally Posted by 12 piece bucket

Am I on the right track here?

Having been properly set at Impact Fix, the Head remains Stationary until at least the completion of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight). The Weight, however, does not remain fixed -- either for a Hitter who begins from Impact Address (Weight Left due to Hip Slide) or for a Swinger who begins from a Standard Address (Weight equally-balanced between the Feet).

Instead, assuming Full Strokes, the Weight shifts -- to the right on the Backstroke and to the left on the Downstroke. The source of these Weight Shifts are the respective Hip Slides, and it is our 'Hula Hula' flexibility (7-14) that allows these shifts to occur without disturbing the Stationary Head. And as long as the Head remains Stationary, Extensor Action will be unaffected -- in either direction.

If I understand this correctly, the Stationary Head is undisturbed because the Extensor Action Laden Power Package is simply Hula'd away to the Top and then, ala Knudson and Moe Norman, the ball gets in the way of the EALPP being Hula'd to the target and through to the Finish Swivel!

How amazingly elegant and simple! Like sweeping with a broom or............. DRAGGING YOUR WET MOP!
