My Thoughts and Teachings:

I know many will disagree, but I do not need to agree with the many when I can see the results.

1. Let's obtain the heigth and then we can add the width or depth into the swing or a conmbination of therefore. When we have done it in that manor we have freed the shoulders to turn freely in both the backswing and forward swing.
even a better read the second time around
I tried throwing a ball over my shoulder and noticed much more throw with the elbows slightly bent, I almost knocked out a light in my classroom.
