#4 Accumulator physics...

[O.B.Left]

When Swinging it's the right shoulder which is pushing on #1, which pushes on the left arm, which pulls the left shoulder, which pulls the shaft, and when the left arm blasts off, it's still pulling the shaft, so you should call it what it is, Swinging.

Joe no offence intended but how can pushing the left arm at the #1 pull the left shoulder around? Im trying to see that mechanically.

I do feel some #1pp when Swinging but Id say its the non accelerating thrust variety , a product of Extensor Action. It does load the #1pp during Startdown , the period of (Right) Shoulder Acceleration as the Left Shoulder takes out any slack in the left arm against the EA at the #1pp. Keeping me within the bounds of a three accumulator 4,2,3 swinging method.

Are you sure this isn't what you're really feeling , Joe?

It's a combo of right shoulder movement moving the left shoulder together with the left arm pushing on it. Take your stance with out a club, let your left arm hang, go to the top and drive your right shoulder down plane and see how much the left shoulder moves. Now grip your hands together and do it and see how the straight left arm moved the left shoulder much farther. You can pull with the left arm and shoulder, but it's not TGM approved. There's a reason why the left shoulder is hardly mentioned at all in TGM.

Would someone please do a free body, pinned structure diagram of this technique with appropriate force and resultant vectors that will demonstrate a satisfactory operation for a swinging stroke?

Thanks
