Homer's words:
It theoretically meets maximum Power demands.
It is the most complicated "orthodox" uncompensated procedure.
It also has the greatest margin of error in execution.
It requires the most practice, fortitude and dedication.
It is for the gifted competitor.

Except for the driver, why not just switch to a longer club and avoid the risk?

Homer audio-
"...no point in 4 Barrel Swinging."
"...no real advantage..."
"If you try to exceed Momentum Transfer, it will resist."

With Ted's comment above....I would go to the Youtube recording of Homer talking about right arm swinging (from the thread "HK's Right Arm Swing Recommendation) and how it has more power than left arm swinging. I would say it goes against the above comment on 4 barrel swinging. Unless, what Homer is saying you could right arm swing and not have to add the left arm. Tom Tomasello taught both....a true right arm swing and a left forearm and right forearm version of swinging the club. Reference Tommy's Chapter 5 video on "Power". I believe you just need to comply with the three imperatives and three essentials and you will do well.

It's not "Ted's comment", although I'm happy to contribute in making the post. They are, however, quotes from Homer.

I've shown great restraint in making "comments", since the "libraries" comment.

It's interesting that Tomasello found the advantage.

Since 4 Barrel Swinging must include right arm thrust....what about Homer's comments in the "Homer Notes"....

Left Arm or Right Arm - If the Right Arm Drive propels the Left Arm
Lever Assemblies, it is still a Left Arm Stroke because the center of
the Clubhead Arc is the Left Shoulder. It is merely Right Arm Powered. But - if the center of the Clubhead Arc is at the Right Elbow, then it is a true Right Arm Stroke, the Bat. Right Arm thrust can add considerable yardage for an out and out Swinger, provided its tendency toward Angled Hinging is recognized. Pivot Thrust can add about half as much increase in yardage for an out and out Hitter provided its tendency toward Horizontal Hinging is recognize.

DG - you wrote-: "Left Arm or Right Arm - If the Right Arm Drive propels the Left Arm Lever Assemblies, it is still a Left Arm Stroke because the center of the Clubhead Arc is the Left Shoulder."

Under what conditions does the right arm propel the left arm lever assemblies? Are you describing a swing variant where the right arm releases PA#4 - as an alternative to a pivot-driven release of PA#4 (in HK's words "the left arm is blasted off the chest wall when the pivot subsides")? Or, are you describing a swing action where the pivot-drive releases PA#4 but the right arm supplies supplementary power to the swing by an active release of PA#1 at a certain time point during the downswing?

Jeff.
