How does a right forearm throw work in terms of which muscle is active, and whether it is isometetrically or isotonically active, and when exactly it's active?

I also cannot understand an automatic causal connection between a right arm throw and lower body activity.

Peter Croker also proposes such a causal connection in his hand swing theory - see http://www.petercroker.com/englisch/...olferapril.htm

However, both Peter Croker and Tom Tomasello are both presuming that the lower body will respond appropriately. However, "appropriate" with respect to the downswing pivot action could be considered to be a learned behaviour and not necessarily an automatic action.

Finally, how does a right arm throw improve on the alternative of starting a downswing pivot action with a right shoulder throw (as per 10-20-C)?

Jeff,

Where does Homer write about Bio-mechanics in TGM? The pivot does respond to the right forearm.....Tommy talks about the response of the pivot to the right forearm in both video series. The trigger types are options... one needs to experiment with all of them to decide what works best for you...not sure what the correct sampling process you would need to determine what trigger type is the most effective (get all 5000 LBG members using a different trigger type....then you have to deal skill level, body type, practice time, etc....LOL). Homer has laid out the components according to their difficulty in execution. I guess the relationship between the components could be thought of in a risk/reward relationship. I tend not to be risk adverse. I enjoy the thrill/risk of cracking a 300 yard drive with hitting the ball a little off-line and I do mean a little!!!
