And there in lies Ballards problem - teaching a sway. Ballard has a tough time understand how the hip moves. Turn back , bump, turn toward is not an alien move to humans.


It is not hard to pivot, keep a constant head position and hit the dickens out of the ball. Many of us have dabbled with Ballard, bought the book when it was still being published, and/or one of his videos. Less then impressed.
His left arm connection (accumulator #4) and early release (sweep release) are covered in The Golfing Machine and a whole lot more.
