Realize that the take-off and the swing will look very different if you are on a 13' than they will on a 17'... There is enough space in the swing and take-off for the bottom arm to be very straight and LOOK like it's blocking for everyone using a 17' pole, but that's not the case. Just a reminder...
Also realize we're talking about maybe a tenth of a second when we say "the left arm should flex outward after the initial upward push" or anything similar. It would be nice if someone could give an account of how that action really works with a very detailed, super slow motion, close-up video!
