A Tale Of Two Thrusts

When you say delayed right elbow drive, are you saying delaying the deliberate straightening of the right arm?

I thought we should be constantly applying extensor action throughout the entire motion, including the downstroke. How do you delay it then?
The Hitter's Extensor Action of the Right Triceps is a Below Plane Stretching Action (applied against the Left Thumb) that does not move the Left Arm. It is a Non-Accelerating Thrust that supplies Power Package Mass (6-C-0-2).

In contrast, the Right Elbow Drive is an Accelerating Thrust (6-C-0-1) directed On Plane (1-L-#10/#11) that actively Drives the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) and Sweet Spot through Impact. This Motion is anything but a 'gentle Stretching' of the Left Arm. Instead, it is a decisive -- even rigid (7-1) -- Thrust! that Uncocks both the Right Elbow and the Left Wrist.

Make no mistake: It is the Basic Drive of the Hitter's Stroke.
