If thrust is applied only to the Left Arm (Handle), the Clubshaft (Swingle) will perform more like a Rope Handle (rising Clubhead pull) . . . However, the Primary Lever Assembly is only somewhat flail like. That is, it is bolted together as with a hinge pin, rather than tied together with a thong, so that it can only be “Cocked” and/or “Rotated” per 4-B and 4-C and cannot pass the “Handle” (4-A-2) while moving toward full extension per 2-P. This insures the Imperative Flat Left Wrist (1-L, 2-0). Study 2-F, 6-F-0 and 10-19. As with the standard flail, the true and proper direction for its mass to move is “downward On Plane” regardless of the incidental appearance of moving “forward On Plane.” Always from the Top. This is indispensable for both Hitters and Swingers for inhibiting Clubhead Throwaway

I find these left arm swings to be interesting too. If you maintain PP4 and pivot into your intert left arm the left wrist doesn't break down. But as soon as you a. Stop Turning or b. try to drive the ball to the target instead of into the ground . . . bye bye #1 Imperative. Sling the hammer into the ground to FULL LEVER EXTENSION.

There was an interesting thread on who could hit it further one-armed left-hand swing or one-armed right-hand swing. I would say left hand because you have 3 Power Accumulators (4,3,2) versus just one. Plus you have both the primary and secondary lever assemblies. And you have the law of the flail and CF working for you.

I met, and filmed a guy once that said he was a ONE ARM DRIVING CHAMPION. He hit it with his Right Arm. I believe he could hit it nearly 300 yards. He said he went to Europe to compete, and those guys were going at it "BACKHANDED." He said he was quite a bit longer than any of the BACKHANDED players.

He did/does have TWO arms, but just held the club with the Right Hand. On film, he had good plane, lag, etc..
