Locating the Pivot Center Hinge Pin

I agree (and have stated several times in posts) that it is not mandatory for the player to locate the Head -- either at Address or at Impact -- "precisely between the feet" in order to establish a Pivot Center. However, having located the Head (and thus establishing the Pivot Center), it is important that its position be maintained.

Personally, I visualize the Pivot Center Hinge Pin as being perpendicular to the ground, regardless of Head position. Thus, the Hinge Pin would fall "precisely between the feet" only if the Head were so located.
