D . . . agree with you here to a point . . . BUT the right arm IS connected to the right shoulder. Shoulder Motion, Hip Action, Knee Action, Axis Tilt all play a BIG role in the Hand Path components and On-Plane or Off-Plane alignments . . . In turn varying the location of the Right Elbow. This is why the Snares are very important. You can have very good aligments in the Power Package and still hit it all over the place if your Plane Angle is compromised by faulty Shoulder Motion (which could stem from other preceding components). . . and the Right Elbow location is very important not just in relation to the body . . . but maybe more so in relation to the BALL.

Excellent point Bucket.

But Extensor Action controls and Coordinates the Right Shoulder location. It raises the Right Shoulder for Steeper plane angles and lowers it for Flatter plane angles. Using Back and trap muscles can screw this up so only use Right Side Deltoid muscles to Raise the Arms.

I agree that the shoulder ball location is paramount to success. Especially if the Right Shoulder doesn't travel far enough during release and impact. Then the Right Elbow is prevented from moving with the hands through the impact interval and swinging from the wrists is inevitable and thus, the loss of three dimensional impact, thus ball control.

It all goes back to Extensor Action preventing the #4 Accumulator from releasing too early in relation to the Ball. So, its important to keep a Stationary Head, cover the Ball and release when the Hands reach the "Line of Sight to the ball".
