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.

The primary lever assembly is driven by creating pressure against it... Theres only two places you can create pressure against the left arm - pp4 and pp1.... When the pressure is created at PP4 the flail (2-K) acts like a rope handle....

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.

Hitters use pp1....
