Stationary Head - To be or not to be

[birdie_man]

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.... I mean, I think even you can get that...lol

Ok well what about the slide in the hip action going in the reverse direction - hence reverse hip action ...nope...

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.

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...

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.
