Yoda, I just think we have to be clear in our descriptions of bodily actions. For example in #24 Mathew wrote..
Quote:
It has absolutely nothing to do with not cocking the right wrist. It has everything to do with the all encompassing, imperative maintainance of the inclined plane. Those who do not teach the right forearm pickup, do not really teach plane.
I don't know if Mathew realizes it but the first sentence uses a double negative and translates to "It has absolutely everything to do with cocking the right wrist." which I am sure was not his intention.
Okay, we're making this thing a lot harder than it is. The exercise is simplicity itself -- at least it is when demonstrated -- and I'm afraid that people now will miss the whole point.
The point of the exercise was not to be "golf-like." The point was ...
How does the right arm and elbow act -- and what muscles are involved -- when you pick something up?
So let's just forget the left arm altogether and do a new drill.
Sitting or standing or lying down, just raise your right hand above your shoulder (as if to get a teacher's attention in class). That's the way the right arm works in the golf Stroke. Without of course, the constraints imposed on it by the left arm and the Inclined Plane of motion.
The triceps straighten the arm and the deltoids lift it.
In the Golf Stroke, the Checkrein Action of the Left Arm causes the Right Elbow to bend, and this also brings the Right Biceps into play (on the Backstroke only). So, we have the triceps, biceps and deltoids all involved in an integrated way to transport the Hands -- and the Club they hold -- to the Top of the Stroke.
This just made lights go off in Bucket's BRAIN CELL . . . I am luuuuuuuuuuuving this post . . .
Boss . . . just to be sure my feeble Pooh Bear brain is on this.
You DO NOT cock the Right Elbow in the Right Forearm Pick Up? You just raise your hand as if "Yo teach!!! I gotta go POTTY!!!!" And because your right arm is connected to your left via the grip . . . your Right Elbow bends/cocks as a result of the Checkrein of the Left Arm?
This is a subtle one. . . hold up gotta bounce I think I hear a FOG HORN!!!!!
Would it stand to reason that it is the Checkrein that actually cocks the Left Wrist too?
The Right Arm attempts to remain straight at all times . . . But the Checkrein "checks" that effort and thus the Right Elbow BENDS . . . and the bending of the Right Elbow COCKS the Left Wrist???
