Thanks 6bmike,I,m personally at a loss as to when the r/arm actually begins to straighten out,I mean,does the r/shoulder carry the B/arm to a point in d/swing and then begin to straighten out or,does it begin to straighten out as soon as d/swing starts,with the shoulder adding the extra push(or backboard,I like that).Thanks
No- the right arm does NOT straighten at the start of the downswing- thats going off plane - OTT. Even Hitters have a pivot start down that moves the right arm on plane before it straightens through the ball to low point. Checkout Lynn's Hiting v Swinging video- it was one of the first. It is in the video clips- Lynn Blake- 5th one down on the left.
With the season approaching, I have been doing some preparation. Is it correct to think of using the pivot to carry a bent right arm to impact? If so, when does the right arm "blast off" the chest and how does one avoid over acceleration when using that violent sounding swing thought?
In "hitting", my rotating pivot keeps pushing the straightening right arm, which keeps pushing the unbending right wrist, which keeps pushing the grip against the clubhead, to try to keep Bending The Shaft (or "sustain the clubhead lag") through impact.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
