Pivot Lag refers to the unwinding of the employed Pivot components from the Feet up, i.e., sequentially through the Knees, Hips and Shoulders. For both Hitters and Swingers, this 'gear train' effect loads the #4 Accumulator (Left Arm) and Lag Pressure, thus providing the Stroke its maximum Radius (6-C-0).
