That would make the entire body similar to a multi levered system but with only a few of the levers actually aligned to the target, the ball or aiming point (though they all interact in a coordinated fashion with a common goal). It would require a tension free connection between the Arms and body at the Shoulders to prevent the Pivot from dragging the Arms in their unique direction Id imagine.

The Arms themselves arent exactly moving in the exact same direction either since they both have their own unique circular ranges of motion and therefore unique centers to their respective circles. How do we best harness the two arms to overcome their somewhat divergent ranges of motion? Do we try to make the two arms like one big arm , as if bound together? Or do we designate the Left Arm's "center" as the Center of the Arm Swing via Extensor Action? Making the left arm the radius of the circle, but string like? I personally am going to go with the last option after trying both.

That would make the Left Arm like a string and the Arms to Shoulders connections tension free. Good things to double check, especially in a tournament where its easy to tense up. Lest we end up fighting..... ourselves.

See 2-N-1 for more on Vectors and the glossaries definition of PIvot to sense the importance of the Right Forearm in all of this. In the end the Right Forearm which at first seemed so un aligned to anything, at times, becomes "omnipotent" in Homers words.

I dont think you could achieve it all without Extensor Action. Hmm rod and claw maybe? I dunno. One man I know is uniquely positioned to answer this question.....might take a steak dinner to get it out of him though. Where the hecks my "to do" list.
