Its not the safest of Right Elbow alignments, tending to muscle tear. You wouldnt pull a car by attaching your right hand to the side of the car and attempting to throw it forward. You wouldnt throw a shot putt. But it can be done for golf. Homer said it was a "beautiful" method, but he also warned of its potential for elbow injury. Not a certainty by any means but there is the potential. It still sounds like an active move with the right arm which I contend is not swinging. I am probably not literal to the book but thats my take. You cant do both pulling and pushing in a swing the way I see it. The right arm is just keeping up with the left arm blast off and thus would not be able to thrust. I am sure this thought is nothing new around here. __________________ "The only real shortcuts are more and more know how"...TGM gmbtempe View Public Profile Send a private message to gmbtempe Find all posts by gmbtempe
