what do you think the pros and cons of these 2 rhythms are??
the rhythm of pitching pennies/bowling /slow pitch softball
where the rhythm is smooth not jerky..slow back swing with a smooth transition
and smooth forward swing
no marked pause/ hesitation and forward stroke
or
archery
slow backswing with a marked pause and forward stroke (release of the arrow)
i find if i try to make the pause obvious it doesnt feel natural and there is tension in my arm as i "hold" the momentum at the top of the back swing
when i SMOOTHLY come back slow and then accelerate it feels more natural
what do you think?
is a marked pause desirable?
fwiw
if you watch a true pendulum swing back and forth
there doesnt seem to me to be a distinct pause at the top of the back swing
it just goes back and forth smoothly
