Thanks to all who replied to my question.
appreciate your time to reply

I also ran across this for the first time in the Glossary on the way home from the office:
"A rotated arm pulling steadily on a weighted line is a swinging action" [Glossary, 7th ed.]
As opposed to "steadily accelerating a hinged beam"
Line, String, Rope: all used to describe the clubshaft

But the Left Arm is also described in TGM as being rope-like is that correct?
Stretched taut (not stiff) through extensor action for both swinging (frozen rope) and hitting (beam)...
