If you fan your right forearm during the Take-away, you should feel a lot of pressure from your left arm crashing into your chest. Are you moving your left shoulder? That's the only reason I can think of that would prevent you from feeling the pressure. Don't move your left shoulder during the takeaway. Stay centered facing the ball. Are you using Extensor Force to pull your left arm straight, downward and across your chest? 3. Are you a Hitter? Why are you thrusting your right arm? Even hitters need to learn basic motion by driving (moving) the right shoulder toward the plane-line. Your Head is the Pivot Center and your right shoulder will move your left shoulder around the Center (your head) Learn this before you start pushing with your right forearm. Then you'll have a better understanding of when and how to use the right forearm if you decide to push. It's all about the "Flying Wedges". Your club should remain a simple extension of your left arm (Flat Left Wrist, Primary Lever). Others may move things independently forward for demonstration purposes, but keep the "Basic Motion" very basic. It will teach you three dimensional impact, power package structure, etc. During the Backstroke, because of your fanning right forearm and stationary left shoulder and downward extensor force and flat left wrist and level right wrist, your arms align to the geometry of the Flying Wedges. On the forward stroke keep them Aligned this way, or assembled-structured. Learn to swivel this Power Package around your stationary head by using a little thrust from your right shoulder. Your Power Package should feel like a merry-go-round with your head at its Pivot Point. The bolded section is where I think my confusion stems from.. It doesn't matter if you are hitter or swinger, you are simply powering this small movement with a push from your right shoulder, correct? Thanks..
