I can imagine PA#1 release contributing to drag loading the clubshaft if the actively straightening right arm contributed to the release of either PA#4 or #2 in a coordinated/complementary manner. However, how would that be possible? How can active PA#1 release at a certain point in the downswing produce a better left arm movement than the standard method of releasing PA#4 in a pivot-driven swing? Also, how can contributory active PA#1 release improve on the centrifugal release action of PA#2?

I not only cannot understand how a four barrel swing action can be better than a triple barrel swing action (4:2:3) -I also cannot understand how it can be even be equal (because active release of PA#1 can cause considerable interference/harm in a swinger's action).

I agree - tricky stuff. it would have to be 4, 1 , 2 , 3.... which would mean pivot throwing left arm off chest (right shoulder fly wheel)...then a bit of PA1 (using right shoulder as backstop brace off which to push) .. then 2 and then 3....

LIke DG and others have said....seems surplus to requirements...

I wonder if many use their PA1 later...almost overlapping 2 and 3??...but then how does that differ from 4 barrel hit??

When you watch Lynn and Ben doing their pitches on one of 6Bs videos on youtube....

there is discussion about adding some active PA1 on the swinging pitch (Lynn says that early on) ....and I am not sure that that discussion has been fully dissected.

There is a definite difference in what happens to the impact bag when Ben hits it and when Lynn hits it.... maybe because Lynn hits it harder but Ben's club has no recoil at all....

Ask Ben Doyle about 4 barrel swing - it seems to be the pattern he aims for by all accounts. 3rd edition patterns may have been Homer giving in to his and other pros' demands for a powerful pattern to teach....??? maybe

I am more than happy to take Homer's advice and not try and do it...yet at the same time it would be menatlly satisfying to at least know what he is telling us to avoid.
