But, it's the triceps that straighten and the biceps that bend the arm. The muscle power is mainly triceps.
Ted,

What triggers the triceps into action...the right forearm. See 1-F. The study 7-3. Next watch both Tomasello video series...you will hear Tommy talk about using the right forearm...not once does he mention the driving the right triceps. Tommy always references the right forearm...in fact, The Magic of the Right Forearm.

See...7-3..."it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm--not just the Right Hand and/or clubshaft--that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3." or later in that same paragraph..."Remember, the Actual Angle of Approach of the Clubhead is determined by Ball Position (2-N) so the Cross Line position of the Right Forearm is ONLY the On Plane Forearm Thrust per 1-L-9/10/11. Even with the Pitch Basic Stroke...".
