>>> An interesting way to demonstrate the importance of this concept is to grab a hammer and drive a nail waist high into a vertical surface with a back hand motion. The elbow and hands and hammer must assume this relationship or it is very difficult to drive the nail. When you get it right, the nail can be driven with relative ease becuase maximum energy is being transmitted under control, with maximum efficiency. <<<
