In another area of the Tape, he claims Hip Action is a Backstop for His Driving Right Forearm. My conclusion, is that Ben indiscriminately uses the Term "Hip Action" to either Throw-out the Secondary Lever for Swinging or Dive the Right Elbow into a Straight Arm for Hitting.
HMM? The Problem with that, as we know, is that Hip Action Powers the Shoulder Turn which Throws (Releases) the #4 Accumulator. So, therefore, he decides that he's Hitting or Swinging, depending on if he "Feels" that Hip Action Drives the Right Forearm or Releases the Left Arm, inconsequential of other components. I'll need to review the Tape a few more times.
O.B., I'll need more review time to get back to you on you last question.

Thats an interesting procedure for chipping. Its not in accordance with 12-5-0 The Basic Motion Curriculum, but not totally uncommon, I guess for longer chips or short pitches. It bypasses Homers Zone 2 only power and goes to a two Zone (1 and 2) chipping procedure. On t.v. I see guys with some Pivot Motion for sure on long chips but Im not sure if Id call it Pivot work. Like Steve Stricker below.
12-5-1 Basic Motion "..........Zero out the Pivot, Shoulder Turn and Accumulator #3"
12-5-2 Acquired Motion ".......Zero Pivot except for Shoulder Turn. Add Accumulator #3 and any needed Shoulder Turn".
I'm not at all familiar with Ben Doyles stuff but remember seeing this Hip powered chipping from this tape in the Gallery. You'll notice Ben come over and grab ahold of Yoda's left pants pocket and pulls his hips. Its hard to make out what he's saying but its something like "Keep the Hands ahead of your Head and the Club by using an Active Pivot....." Or something, its hard to make out.

Not sure how the Hips can be a backstop to an actively extending Right Arm in a literal sense. Pivot Power inducing Centrifugal Throwout and eventual (Passive) Right Arm extension etc I get but "backstop" ? The right arm is attached to the right shoulder, I believe. Are you sure he
Actively extends his Right Arm, with a turning Pivot, Pivot Power? Isnt that closing in on Four Barrel chipping? I dunno.

PS
UNLESS USING THE ABOVE, PIVOT POWERED CHIPPING/PITCHING IS A DRILL TO LEARN THE PIVOT AND DRAG LOADING RATHER THAN AN ACTUAL CHIPPING PROCEDURE? That would be a different story, although still outside of 12-5-0. An alternate curriculum for the development of a Total Motion, so to speak.
