And by the way based on the video and information I've seen on this site I'm a swinger.
Imagine you had a big flat piece of cardboard glued to your right hand. If you moved you hand up and down like a karate chop that had no arm motion, the cardboard would rub against your forearm. That's okay. If you bend your right wrist, the board would come off your arm. That's a big NO-NO. Keep the board against your forearm at all times.

AKA, a flat right wrist. You can cock it and uncock it, but never bend it.

If you feel a little confused, I'm a lefty. Switch the words "left" and "right", and it'll make sense. Lefty's Revenge!

As far as the arm and shoulder, I'll let a swinger help you with that. As a hitter, all I try to do is apply extensor action, then let it feel as if it's numb.
