I have a question about EA and centrifugal force.

Joe Norwood talked about Ben Hogan's left arm being fully extended, and that most people short themselves of valuable additional inches to their swing radius. Of course HK gave as a very accurate definition and understanding of this particualr point in the form of extensor action. Will the throwout caused by CF cause the left arm to extend in the same manner i.e. a full extension of the primary lever? I know swingers employ EA just as hitters do, but will CF extend the left arm to the same degree?

Is this an example of why Hogan maintained that one should reverse every natural instinct that you may have relating to the golf stroke. EA is an artificial force, Hogan used extensor action (working on his left arm for some time according to Norwood) so could this be yet another "Hogan Secret?" I'm not sure I asked a real question! I gues I'm trying to understand figure if CF/throwout maintains the radius of the primary lever or if it is largely EA? Convoluted?

EA is an artificial force? How come?


EA maintains the radius- I don't think it exends it beyond impact fix alignments. CF throw out releases the left wrist to level for impact. EA is a right arm inline force on the left arm- not a left arm force to add an inch. It is the right arm that applies force downward on the left arm- not along its radius to move the left in an arc. The left arm is just structure- geometry. The right shoulder thrust and the pivot train is its physics. EA is pure struture and Geomtery. Power package glue.
