In Chuck Evans' E-Book, he states that the right arm only bends on the backstroke, and that there isn't any lifting by the shoulders. For the resident Ai's, is this correct? I get better result if I lift up from my shoulders along with the right arm bend. If I just bend my right arm, I can only get my hands to armpit level, and it feels more like a pitch shot.
Shoulder lift. How much??

I’m not an AI but play one on TV !
I'm sure at address you have a spine angle and that you stay in it throughout the swing. What you feel isn’t a shoulder lift (which would take you out of that angle) but a shoulder rotation and that’s fine. The hands using Extensor Action will bring your hands above your shoulders. In a spine angle, rotate and raise your right hand like you will tell the judge the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Now grab the left and do it again. You should be set perfectly at the top.
