The Left Arm

[12 piece bucket]

this #4 stuff of the left arm and left chest.

Are you guys saying to turn the chest into the left bicept/tricep area from the top while leaving the left arm back? This then creates tension in the #4? keep turning the pivot into that arm until it's thrown off the chest past impact?

is this right?

Pressure Point No. 4 is where the left arm contacts the side. The left arm is essentially inert according to Mr. K. It is stretched out via Extensor Action. And swung across the chest. Pressure Point No. 4 is loaded via the Right Shoulder moving down plane.


6-B-4-0 As Accumulator #4 it is Pivot (Body) Power supplying the initial acceleration of the Downstroke to throw the Lever Assemblies toward Impact by the Thrust of the Shoulder Turn. See 7-13. Another major contribution to Impact Power is geometric – it is the first link in the Swing Radius power train between the Club and the Feet.

“Left Arm Power” in any form or amount can still be considered #4 Accumulator Action. Otherwise it actually substitutes for the Pivot to introduce the circular motion required to produce Centrifugal Force.


In addition here is what Mr. K. had to say about "blast-off" . . .

2-M-4 BODY POWER Inertia can hold the Left Arm against the chest while the Body Turn is accelerating it and Momentum can then sustain it and come out with the Feel of Left Arm Power. See 2-K. To clear the fog, consider Pivot Thrust as Body Power blasting the Swinger’s essentially inert Left Arm into orbit toward Impact. Or, as supplying the initial acceleration of the Hitters loaded Power Package so the Clubhead can be endowed with Pivot Speed PLUS Right Triceps Speed. Study 6-B-4, 6-C-0, and 7-12 in this connection.

so in laymans terms I am right?

Sounds like it. I have to see if I can get that feeling more on my downswing.
