What is the opposite of a centred pivot? Is it sway?

I know I used to feel that swaying back actually created power in my swing. This was pop instruction telling folks to take the club back low and slow. Looked ugly as he77 on tape, and only added power with PERFECT timing.

I don't believe that you can make the golf stroke motion or any others with the body, without have a center point.

It is not the golfer lack a swing center, it is that they dont have a swing center that is effective.

It is a combination of geometry and physics.

Balance plays a key role the effectiveness of the swing center.

The pivot center is part of the control of the left shoulder motion to ultimately control the primary and thus also the secondary lever assembly. The left shoulder location itself around that stationary point is controlled by the right shoulder.

The stationary point is the ideal objective. There is little in the way of tolerance. Skilled swaying is achievable but hardly considered good form. The body will never 'twist' correctly and is usually taught by teachers (ie. Leadbetter) who lack any real kind of physique capable of playing non-compensated golf. The 'cheap' pivot motion that swaying produces progressively counteracts the ability to create thrust against the primary lever assembly in the downstroke.
