Here is another quote by Yoda referring to the right shoulder thrust that initiates the downswing pivot action in a swinger. ---------------------------------------- "The Push of the Right Shoulder accelerates the Swinger's Left Arm and causes it to Pull the Hands and Club (6-B-4-0). The direction of that Pull is toward its source (the Pushing Right Shoulder). Therefore, when you Turn your Right Shoulder Down Plane (toward the Ball), i.e., 10-13-D #3 per 2-H, 2-L and 6-E-2-1, that is the direction taken by your Left Arm and Club -- the Golfer's Flail (2-K). This Push -- a Thrusting Force -- is much misunderstood, both Mechanically and Kinesthetically. All that is needed to create this steady, driving force or pressure is a positive motion that initiates and sustains the Pull of Centrifugal Force. Its Execution need not -- in fact, should not -- be quick or jerky (3-F-6). And any violent action is not only unnecessary, it is counterproductive (due to its Throwaway tendencies). Remember, every Pull requires a Push. A horse cannot pull a wagon" -------------------------------------------- Now if you want to call the right shoulder thrust action a pull action because it ultimately causes the left arm to pull the hands/club, then you are free to do so. However, I perceive it as a push action. You can also freely believe that a horse pulls the cart, but I choose to believe that the horse pushes against the harness, and that the harness assembly translates that push-action into a pull-action with reference to the cart. You are also free to believe that pushing (with the pushing finger being behind the point of contact with the string) against the end of a string to straighten it is exactly equivalent to pulling the string (with the pulling agent being in front of the point of contact with the string). However, your personal opinion doesn't become legitimized (become more scientifically "true") by adopting a mocking tone. Jeff. Jeff View Public Profile Find all posts by Jeff
