I was looking at Yoda's basic motion sequence in the Gallery.
I was surprised to see the right arm barely moving past the hip on the back swing.
It seems like the backswing in this basic sequence is merely a hand motion, primarily a bend of the right wrist, which is of course sustained on the through swing. Is this correct?

Basic Motion: 2 feet back and 2 feet through.
The bent right wrist is set (clamped) at address and does not change.
Bending and straightening of the right elbow alone powers the motion. Any further accumulators are factored in under Acquired Motion, hence the term "Acquired".

Basic Motion (Stage One of the Basic Motion Curriculum / Clubhead two feet back and through) employs either (but not both) of the Arm Power Accumulators, i.e., the Left Arm (Swinging) or Right Arm (Hitting). The Right Shoulder is part of both the Power Package and the Pivot and therefore can drive the Swinger's Left Arm without violating the Basic Motion's Zero Pivot requirement.
The Hand Action Power Accumulators (Left Hand Turn and Roll and Left Wrist Cock and Uncock) are not employed until the Stroke proceeds to Acquired Motion -- Stage Two of the Basic Motion Curriculum -- whose boundary is from two feet back and through to Right Forearm parallel to the ground.
"the right shoulder...can drive the swinger's left arm" caught my attention.
Is this only in Basic Motion or does this occur in all 3 motions for the swinger....can "drive" be better defined... does it mean "directs" or "powers"?

Thanks for any help
The Right Shoulder drives the Swinger's #4 Accumulator (Left Arm) in all three Stages of the Basic Motion -- Basic, Acquired and Total. In fact, in the first three TGM editions, unless the Right Shoulder provided the initial Thrust of the Left Arm during the Start Down, Power Accumulator #4 was considered Zero-ed.
Ok once again I am lost. I do not understand how the right shoulder can do this without going over the top.
Does the action of the right shoulder takes place AFTER the left hip moves toward the target and the hands drop down -- then the right shoulder goes into action?

The Hip ACTION (7-15) pulls (and even throws) the Right Shoulder Downplane -- toward the Ball (and not "over the top") -- as directed by Educated Hands.
