Is the shoulder complex used as a lever when driving out hard while using a backswing? Does that even make sense?
I didn't want to muck up Squeeze's thread about arm circle speed with this question. I was getting really lost in that discussion and find myself questioning my thoughts on the reason's for driving out hard.
I thought that driving out hard while swinging back would initiate the levering of the shoulder joint and help provide arm speed so that at plant, you could bump up the arm speed/force being generated if your timing is correct. Especially since your arm has to travel quite a bit farther than your drive out. Give your arm a running start, if you will.
Sort of like when you were a kid and had your bike upside down and spin the wheel. If you time slapping the spinning wheel correctly, you can increase the speed of the spin. And if you use a stick (or screwdriver or whatever else you were playing with) it is even easier to increase the speed of the spinning wheel. Does something like this apply to the arm circle?
I get the driving the bus into a wall and such as regards plant and turning the spinning wheel into force.
In my mind, I am seeing arm speed as having an important role. I have ten more days before my daughter starts back up and I really want to help her understand the complete role of a hard drive out with a "backswing."
And if I'm lost, just say "hey, you're lost'" No hard feelings on my part.
