Hitting Basics - When/Where Is The Right Arm Thrust Applied?

[yekim79]

""Yes, Bob. From the Top, the Pivot Transports the Power Package to the Release Point.

Then, and only then, does the Right Elbow Fire. ""

yoda,

when the "right elbow fires" is that not extensor action?

i'm a little confused as to when to apply right arm extensor action, using the right triceps. i've heard that extensor action should be applied throughout the entire swing, which keeps right hand heel pressure on the left thumb. but, that would seem contradictory to deliverng the power package to the release point and "only then" firing the right elbow.

should i try to actively straighten the right elbow from the top, or does that not occur until my hands have reached a point closer to the ball?

thanks, mike.
