However this karate chop strike towards the plane line is guided via the clubhead control of the right hand or specifically pp3 drawing a straight line of thrust towards an aiming point after you adjust yourself in a position to do so (top arc).
Why is trying to control the clubhead orbit with the left arm a no-no? Because of its offplane position during release/impact?
What's wrong with maintaining the left arm flying wedge?
