Practice right arm only with a straight right arm (with or without club), then add left hand and repeat (as you say).

On a related point, does the checkrein action of the left arm leash also cause the right wrist (as well as the right elbow) to bend?

Remember Mr. Kelley advised that at Address you ideally (particularly in Hitting) have your Right Forearm On Plane and in-line with the clubshaft . . . . To do that you gotta have your right arm BENT.

I think that the acceleration solely dependent on the drive of the Right Tricepts in Hitting requires a significant amount of structure. Whereas, Swinging you could probably get away without Extensor Action at address . . . maybe more a gentle stretch.

But maybe the Top aiming point thing based on where your right arm wants to go takes care of the extensor action without any conscious attempt to apply it.
