Libero,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Here is my take on what you are doing.

First,

though TT recommends you do not consciously think of the pivot, he does not say there is zero downswing pivot. Somewhere in the tape he mentions when you Karate Chop the sides of the hands toward the ball, that it will look very different on video to what it feels like. He also says that the pivot respond to your intention to move the hands toward the ball. (those are my words, as I do not remember TT exact words)

Second,

I believe TT wanted there to be more of a a full roll of Horizontal Hinging rather than the half roll of Angled Hinging. That is probably why your longer clubs are tending to go to the right, that's the layback.

I have not watched the tape in a while but will in the next few days and report back. I do not remember what questions I asked TT before he sent me the tape. I still follow the basics of what he sent to me which is TGM.
