And that Stroke Radius is not driven by the Left Arm itself, but by the Momentum Transfer of the Turning Body. So, if you've got pain in your Left Elbow, stop pulling so hard with that Left Arm. Instead, learn to accelerate it with your Pivot. Not only will you hit the ball much further and with more accuracy, you'll also be able to trash that arm band.

Hi Lynn,

After the requisite hip slide, what should one feel 'moves' next? I know for a Swinger, it should be a 'pull' of some kind. But in this post, you appear to say that pulling with the left arm is a no-no. Should it be a right shoulder thrust with the hands aiming? This should be clear to me by now, but every time I think "hey, I've got it" something like this will surface and make me wonder.
