clubhead orbit

Im trying to get it into all my shots. "#1 is always Driving". Save some right arm for the ball. The Right Shoulder plays a huge part , axis tilt etc.

Luke Im wondering why it works? I get the thrusting through the ball part but there's something else there I think? Something Geometric maybe. Is it the clubhead orbit? Thrusting all the way down? Thrusting towards the plane line post low point? Its a 1-L thing I bet. I didnt know you could compress those little shots like that.
It does complete the orbit. If the Right Arm fails to straighten, it can lead to a bent Left Arm and/or a Bent Left Wrist. The proverbial 'triangle' is not a triangle until two feet past the ball. Impact is a destination for most, resulting in a loss of compression.
