Important discussion
I have shared Jeff's confusion in the past about the role of the right arm. Although I have worked with TT I am not interested in parsing his words. I know that Lynn's experience with HK qualifies him to explain the yellow book with authority. I had a badly malfunctioning right arm when I saw Lynn. I held on avoiding the motion and therefore release. I empasized PP 3 as I swung. Lynn had me load PP 2 and then drag it down accelerating the club longitudinally. Since my mind is in my hands during the swing I mainly think of PP 2. The trick for me was only to be aware of PP 3 and try to increase that pressure while maintaining a passive right arm, a soft flexible elbow joint and hopefully to experience the feel of "throw out " that had been so elusive. I wanted to feel the blood being propelled into my right and left fingers by Centrifugal force. Of course I had to maintain extensor action and try to feel I was driving my hands thru the ball at the same time Driving the hands and club thru the ball while swinging !. If I think I am doing that I have increased distance and great shots. But I am still not sure I've got it. I feel it is very confusing to understand the inter relationship of all of these feels and actions while swinging. I guess it would be easier for simpler brains just to hit it! Whats so hard about that. It must be easier. I seen a guy hit it with a bottle on his head and it doesn't even fall off. Anyway Jeff thanks for your persistance in this discussion, it's resulted in great stuff from Yoda. Oh somewhere along the line I was told that if you swung your right arm you might get pain the the right elbow.
