Right arm hitting video for critique

[grantc79]

I decided to fool around with hitting it with my right arm again which I haven't experimented with for about 6 months now.

I always struggled with the whole right arm hitting thing but I recently got a PC and cameras set up in my garage and decided to mess around with it again and see what it looks like.

Surprising to me it looks a hell of a lot better than my swinging stroke.

Thought I would post it and see what you guys think:

what exactly is right arm hitting.

Shoving the club with your right arm, right tricep specifically, to power the club.

Basically if you take the club to the top you have two ways of getting it back. You can drag it with the left side or shove it with the right side which most aren't familiar with. Its a pretty efficient way to hit the ball but takes some getting used to.

well your right hand hit was a push right. not putting it down, just sayin.

Assuming it didn't draw yes :)

and do you push with the right from the very top of the swing, or turn the push or what?

Very slowly but yes.

The whole idea is you can't run out of right arm until after impact. As soon as you run out of right arm the club slows down dramatically. So basically you start shoving slowly and gain power until you run out of right arm to shove (the arm is straight) about 12 inches past the ball.

Very slowly but yes.

so with this ideal, you dont want to have your right armed fully extended at impact, you want it bent which will create more power.

your right arm is never supposed to be fully extended at impact.
