While toying around with hitting on the weekend i discovered i may or may not have had the wrong idea. I had been really firing the right shoulder downplane toward the ball while firing the right arm. On the weekend however i tried a much more passive shoulder action and had immediate success. I know the shoulder should be used as a backstop to push against but thought it too had to be active. With the improvement i found on the weekend i now wonder if i had the wrong impression? I almost had the feeling that the right arm was straightening and the shoulder merely following more passively vs actively thrusting.

Could somebody please clear the fog?
