Right elbow on plane. How to monitor.

[DDL]

There was a recent thread, either on this forum or Chuck's forum, on when to apply right arm thrust for hitters. The answer was to first wait for the right forearm to get onplane. To take the analysis further, one should wait for the right elbow to get onplane.

I am assuming the above also applies to swingers. Keep the shoulders turned, drop the arms and hands til the right elbow is onplane, then use the body to rotate, take a nap, and let CF do the rest. ????

How does one know when the right elbow is onplane? If I wait til the arms, hands and right elbow drop to waist level, the wait is very long. Feels like it takes more time for the drop to occur than for the Eagles to figure out what play to run with time running out . Pulling immediately from the top is an over the top move, probably causing my strong pulls. Even though I am aiming at the inside back corner of the ball. When HK said swinging was a a 'lazy' stroke, did he really mean it was an extrememly patient stroke?

In the unpublished Homer notes, HK states to aim the right elbow at the ball. But I don;t want to take that visualization too far and end up with the right elbow in front of the navel, a motion which others have commented has caused them great physical harm.

Thanks
