Hands controlled pivot does not mean hands powered pivot.

I didn't say that it did. In the backswing the pivot reacts to the hands and arms. It does not lead them.

10-19-C DRAG LOADING Drag Loading is the Rope Handle Technique of the "Swinger", an out-and-out PULL, striving to accelerate the Clubshaft lengthwise, from a quick Start Down to Release.

IMO you can get no quicker "quick Start Down" with just the hands and arms, unencumbered by the Pivot.

In the swingers procedure, you create a pressure at pp4 against the primary lever assembly to drive it through impact

Isn't that more of a Hitter's technique? The last thing I want to do is to have my shoulders rotating past square to the target line prior to impact.

pp3 aims at the aiming point - to be able to do this you must have the right shoulder go downplane.

I primarily use pp3 to sense the change of direction at the End, and attempt to maintain that feeling through Drag Loading to Release.
