Left Shoulder as Center of swing

Manipulated Hands Swinging. His Alignments in Finish Swivel being beautifully telling, often revealing of his Hinge Action and shop shaping geometry.


Like you I "feel" very much like its a right sided deal although with the left shoulder is the centre ......meaning its a left sided swing by definition. If you know what I mean. Im all ride sided but Im not Right ARm Swinging, which by definition would have the centre at the Right Elbow. Which raises another question for ya... Does the Right Arm Swinger use EA? If he did wouldn't that re establish the Left Shoulder as the Centre? Right Arm Swingers often have soft , bent left arms right? Me Im EA on , left arm as a string or sometimes a rod.... they're both forms of EA to my mind.
Hi guys! When I bump my left hip to "take up the slack" as seen in the video below, I feel Extensor Action and the stretch in my left shoulder as my trigger to thrust my right arm all the way down plane until it is fully extended. In that way, I feel as if, while Hitting, my left shoulder is the "center" of my Hit. That feeling of Hip slide also makes the Finish Swivel so automatic and sensible.

Am I on your page of the book, sort of?
