swingers takaway motions

[jhphx]

I am learning to process the swing motion with the right forearm or hand controlled pivot. Does the "karate chop move back down fit with the swinging motion, or is that another way or feeling of using a vertical hinge through the hitting area?

The "karate chop" move is for Swinging only and doesn't really have anything to do with hinge action.

You have four sections or "intervals" in the down swing: Downstroke; Release; Impact; and, Follow-through. The karate chop (the edge of the hand driving toward the ball) takes place during the Downstroke interval. Once you get to Release, the left hand begins to rotate to the left so that it will be in the proper position by the time you get to Impact. You hinge action occurs during the Impact interval, so you can use any hinge action desired with the karate chop move.

RWH,

The "karate chop" move is executed prior to the Swinger's Release Swivel?

Thanks!

Yes sir rundmc.

Right hand- "Karate Chop" INTO Swivel. The Swivel should happen Automatically tho.

Just keep pulling, keep turning.

....

O and jhphx.....regarding right forearm karate chopping downplane, I think the idea is.......that's how your right hand should be aligned, but you should start the downswing from the ground up, if you know what I mean.

Pull downplane for as long as possible basically, then the Swivel just happens.

Yes; the "karate chop" move is nothing more than the palm of the left hand laying on the inclined plane during the Downstroke from the Top to the Release point. During Release, the left wrist uncocks and then the left hand swivels into the "impact hands" position.
