I'm not too big on (certain) swings (....some Swings) solely using the right forearm to control the motion.....i.e. Swings (Swingers- Drag Loading) with Standard Wrist Action....I've had OK results but nothign great. Something just isn't right....

i.e. Hogan (although this is an extreme example- some would say "You can't swing like Hogan!" or "Hogan was abnormal!" or w/e) would not be Hogan w/o him using his torso more like a rotor.....

....BUT....that's not to say that he didn't have Educated Hands.....Extensor Action....etc....all those good things. i.e., IMO his hands were not just "floppy" or "passive".....passive in driving/powering the swing maybe, but not passive in maintaining some sense of Geometry to go with the Physics of his pivot.

Who knows, my attitude might change as I learn more and experiment more but this is where I stand right now.....mind is still open tho- this is prolly the last thing (that I know of) that I'm skeptical of in TGM.

Remember.....I mean for certain Swings....
