Glad you're experiencing your recent successes, laangels. Stay with us . . . there's more to come!
There are three Major Basic Strokes:Punch, Pitch and Push. Punch and Pitch demand Right Forearm/Elbow Fanning -- the Hands move around the Right Elbow -- and that Action begins immediately.
Only with Push is there no fanning. Instead, the Right Elbow is positioned in an 'up and out' location at Address, and the Hands are held between the Right Elbow and the Ball throughout the Stroke.
P-U-S-H.
A ponderous Action that produces very little distance in relation to the applied Thrust.
Great post.
Fanning begins immediately with Punch Elbow. This was a big revelation for me in my recent lesson with Yoda, as I had been employing a misguided Pushish Punch hybrid sort of elbow in Total Motion, too much Inline motion in Startup. Not a big Mr X move or anything. But I had a misconception about the Hitters Punch Elbow location in Total Motion having used Push Elbow in Basic Motion. Now I know better.
Yoda, do you care to comment on whether this early fanning can be pivot induced in Startup?
