In a perfect world, I would have a quality video camera and an AI for hands on goodness. Unfortunately, we must work within the confines of reality. I can LOOK LOOK LOOK in the mirror as I make the Basic/ Acquired Motions or Downswing Waggle (must do more of these) but have no way to examine my swing when actually hitting a ball
When I pull back my arm as if to punch the ball, my hands stay below my shoulders! But only because I have no fanning of the forearm and my right shoulder therefore gets VERY high

If I'm going to punch something I naturally keep my hand between it and the elbow - Push Basic

The good thing about that tho is that I can start driving right from the get go, the forearm is always on plane
Question. Is it correct to say that the thrusting of the right arm should not begin until the forearm is back on plane? If it is, what exactly do you do before then? Is it the hip slide, initial shoulder move (4 barrel) and extensor action?
