Subject: Throw with your body then
In reply to: Chazman 's message, "Lets get this straight" on 12:06:34 03/03/02 Sun

I guess that throwing a ball is controlled by the body too, because the body sure does move first. Give us all a break please. The brain knows that your arm will soon be moving forward very fast, so it places your lower body in a position so that you will be in good balance when the arms race through. It is a natural response. To say that the body is pulling the arms through is absurd. Lets shoot up your arms with novicane and see how you do. You would have absolutely no chance of hitting the ball. NO CHANCE. Try it and then report back. The body cannot move the arms so that you can hit a ball worth a crap. The arms however can move without the body and hit the ball pretty far. When the body supports the motion, the arms can swing even faster so that you can hit the ball even farther and still remain on balance.

I am sorry I lost my temper with you earlier in the thread. I just wish I could help you see the light. I believed as you do in the past, and it took quite a while for me to learn that it is an arm swing that hits the ball.

Hit some balls without using your arms at all and see how well you do. Then hit some with only your arms and no body and see what works better.

P.S. I have heard Moe on numerous occasions say that it is an arm swing, or that he only swings the club with his left arm. He changes his story almost in every video.
