Right arm fanning for hitters

What is right arm fanning for hitters and what is the dowel drill associated with it? I assume it not a turning of the hands as in swinging.

Get you a couple of tennis rackets or ping pong paddles. Hold them both out in front of you with your left arm extended straight out from the shoulder. Your left arm should be parallel to the ground and the racket vertical. Take your BENT right arm and LEVEL BENT right wrist in front of your chest like the left arm. Make sure your Right Forearm and the shaft of the racket are in the same plane.

Hold your left arm and racket in place. Take the right arm back with the racket moving parallel to the ground i.e. the Horizontal Plane. BUT ROLL your right forearm so the back of the racket is facing the ground i.e. facing the Horizontal Plane. Feels weird because you're on a Horizontal Plane. Do this several times. Then bend over and do it on an Inclined Plane. Felt "un-golf-like" on the horizontal plane. But on the Inclined Plane it's where you should be at the Top.

Is this the same as the start up swivel for swingers?

[annikan skywalker]

Swivel is rotation of the hands...or paddles...

Fanning is like "Clapping" ...as per Master Yoda Quote..."you can clap can't you...

Swivel would be "Pronation and Supination'....Anatomical motion

Fanning is external and internal rotation at the shoulder joint....Anatomical motion...


GOLF Terminology...

However it's attention and execution is with a stiff wristed...Slappin/clapping motion of the right forearm.....
"
But it is the "backward motion of the forearm...

Right Forearm Pick-up...is the upward motion...Picking up your phone

So Up and Back and IN.....Sametime/In an instant!!!

So...it is simple as "Clapping"...Nothing more...nothing less

Simply is fanning with the right arm the shoulder turn pivot?

Fanning is slapping someone on one cheek with the back of your hand and then again on the other cheek with the palm. Hand is exactly perpendicular to the ground throughout the entire slap.

Swiveling is simply Turning and then Rolling your forearm. Pretend your forearm is a screw....screw it into the wall.

[davel]

Now that we know it is slapping. If I told you to do a right forearm fanning drill what would you do and why would you do it?

Dave

[birdie_man]

I have absolutely no clue what that is man.

Never heard of it.

I assume you'd do it to get the used to fanning your forearm...no clue what the actual drill is though.

Yoda has many hours of Homer teaching on tape to go along with his time spent with Homer in a Master Class and phone conversations. With Homer, if he said it once- that's enough.

Yoda's quest is to explain and lift fog away from the book using everything he has learned from Homer. Yoda has no need to save space.

Fanning is plane line tracing, Fanning is the right forearm magic executed.

Even in past post from Yoda, Yoda simplifies the “fanning” motion always referring to the Start-Up and into the Backstroke. Clearly H.K. in his writings only used the word “fanning” when referring to 10-3-A. (of course please correct me if I ‘am wrong).

Perhaps it's a generational issue, but back in the day (before electric fans, air conditioners, etc.), people had to resort to fanning themselves on hot summer days. Try this: hold a stiff piece of paper, or a notebook-sized piece of cardboard, in your right hand and use it to blow air onto your face. It seems to work best if your wrist stays (slightly) bent as your forearm moves back and forth, and your hand consistently returns to the same positions at the top and bottom of the stroke.

I believe that's the "fanning" that Mr. Kelley was referring to, and obviously if you fan going back you have to fan coming down - to keep the air moving!
