The muscles that apply THT and pull the lead-arm across the chest would be the same muscles an archer uses in pulling back the bowstring. – There is another site that claims other people’s work as his own by simply renaming the mechanic by the muscles and bones involved. That may be the site for you.

The arms have to play a role in setting the arc. It won't happen automatically.

Teacherman,
Try doing a somersault as slow as you possbly can, then try a fairly rapid one. Which one was easier to control? Why? Apply this concept to your question. Go Redbirds!
