is it OK or sound technique to engage a bit of shoulder moving forward (letting elbow & wrist relax & hang, going for a ride like a door off of hinge) as I switch weight from right foot to left?

Hi Andy,

It is good to use the shoulder like a hinge.  It will move forward as you rotate your waist.  Keep the shoulders aligned.  The twist comes from the torso.
