A pivot is an act of turning around a point and reverse means going in the opposite direction.
The shoulders nor the hips should be turning around in an anticlockwise(right handed) direction on the backstroke....
Ok well what about the slide in the hip action going in the reverse direction - hence reverse hip action ...nope...
According to most sources - its a slide coupled with a head moving forwards....
Sliding - well thats going in the direction you should be going anyways - just going too far.... that can't be 'reversing'
Ok so what is the next point you could possibly make - the pivot point reverses forward in its direction ... but that makes me confused - how would then concentrating on a stationary head make you 'reverse pivot'... Think about it...

Great post, Mathew. And from the perspective of a man disciplined to rendering geometrical relationships, not opinions.

To me, it very obviously has nothing to do with what direction the shoulders or hips turn...
I realize you're trying to relate it to TGM terms but I just think "reverse pivot" is pretty ample as a term to use casually.
Almost everyone knows what it is, even if their definition is a general one.

I wasn't even gonna get into the whole pivot center debate this time...I have my mind pretty much made up about that one already....BTW it includes both sides...but leans to one admittedly.
I just thought that reverse pivot was a common enough term to use casually.
However, for the record, now that you got me thinking, I think that using the eyes to monitor if the head has moved or not is of pretty minor usefulness. IMO.
