Practicing in my basement Lab I have come to realize the value of left arm only swings. TGM imperatives/essentials are magnified.
Here is what I have discovered swinging with the left arm only:
Flat left wrist - you cannot keep the sweet spot on plane without it or maintain the flail.
Law of the Flail - again inconsistent contact without it. The ball will/can go anywhere/nowhere if you break the law of the flail. No left arm chicken wings allowed (sorry 12 Piece).
Left hand clubface - Directional control.
Plane - single plane swing on the proper angle.
Arc of approach - contact the inside of the ball.
Hinging/swivel - the difference between hinge and swivel and how the swivel happens after hinge and after contact.
Stationary Head - Any bobbing and you are finished. Swaying tough to get back to the ball and make consistent contact.
Which leads me to surmise that the left hand/wrist/arm (hinge) is the heart and soul of the golf swing. Be the one armed Iron Byron machine.
Chicken Wangs!! 2-K
If thrust is applied only to the Left Arm (Handle), the Clubshaft (Swingle) will perform more like a Rope Handle (rising Clubhead pull) . . . However, the Primary Lever Assembly is only somewhat flail like. That is, it is bolted together as with a hinge pin, rather than tied together with a thong, so that it can only be “Cocked” and/or “Rotated” per 4-B and 4-C and cannot pass the “Handle” (4-A-2) while moving toward full extension per 2-P. This insures the Imperative Flat Left Wrist (1-L, 2-0). Study 2-F, 6-F-0 and 10-19. As with the standard flail, the true and proper direction for its mass to move is “downward On Plane” regardless of the incidental appearance of moving “forward On Plane.” Always from the Top. This is indispensable for both Hitters and Swingers for inhibiting Clubhead Throwaway
I find these left arm swings to be interesting too. If you maintain PP4 and pivot into your intert left arm the left wrist doesn't break down. But as soon as you a. Stop Turning or b. try to drive the ball to the target instead of into the ground . . . bye bye #1 Imperative. Sling the hammer into the ground to FULL LEVER EXTENSION.
There was an interesting thread on who could hit it further one-armed left-hand swing or one-armed right-hand swing. I would say left hand because you have 3 Power Accumulators (4,3,2) versus just one. Plus you have both the primary and secondary lever assemblies. And you have the law of the flail and CF working for you.
