Mike - thanks again for commenting.

Secondly, you refer to a left arm swing as being a swing where the i) clubshaft swing center is at the left shoulder and ii) the left sided torso musculature pulls the left arm away from pressure point #4. However, in the pivot-driven swing the left arm is catapulted away from the chest wall (pressure point #4) when the pivot subsides - ala Hogan. Do you categorize that type of swing as also being a left arm swing style?

Jeff.

i) Let's just say for swingers that you have the right arm swing possibility or you have "the golf swing" i.e. left arm swinger. The only difference being the source of the acceleration and the resulting changing of centers. Now, it would be better to say or easier to see that the centers are different in the two. The right elbow or left shoulder centers are generalizations, not meant to be taken literally or measured directly i.e. those centers are moving.

ii) You're making a dinstinction or a division that I never made or at least running with and going onto a whole new topic of discussion. I said left side musculature (primarily) pulls the clubshaft. So I did not say "the left sided torso musculature pulls the left arm away from pressure point #4 "


"Do you categorize that type of swing as also being a left arm swing style?"
Sure- Anything but the right arm swing would have a "center at the left shoulder". Remember that we are really just talking about the swing center in this discussion. When you say ""Left arm swing style"" - you are really (for the reader) opening up a can of worms in regards to - Are we talking about or defining "What the movement feels like?" or "What muscles are actually being used?" or "What it looks like in pictures?" or "What the player is trying to do?". Without limiting the discussion or clearly defining the concept at hand - you quickly get off into the land of confusion (for the reader).
