There is a difference between EA and the #1 PP.

With EA, the Right Arm straightens as it would wile performing a Reverse Arm Curl, where the Palm of the Right Hand is facing you as triceps pressure is applied. As the right hand lowers, its path is an Arc, and the hand moves away from the right shoulder with a Stationary Elbow until the Right Arm is Straight. #1 PP is more like a Push-up.

The difference is important. When using the #1 PP, the Right Hand moves away from the Shoulder in a straight line and the Elbow moves in-line with the Hand Path and Stationary Right Shoulder. This causes a straight Right Arm.

Both Actions are performed with the Inside of the Right Wrist Visible to the eye from Start-up to Both Arms Straight. And, its easy to feel that both Actions are very different and can be performed simultaneously for the "Hitter".

So, EA doesn't move the Right Elbow while the #1 PP does. The primary purpose of EA to control the Right Elbow.

Interesting!

I think ( but am not sure) That U Have it the "right way".

I found 2 ways to apply EA but the intuitive method is wrong and will do more harm than good. so, it is probably 60-40 that it will be applied wrong and will be abandoned.

I tried a discussion here about 2+ years ago but feel as though I got my head chopped off so I won't go there again.

BUT

If U have it right your explanations can be of great value for understanding proper EA application.
