Basic Motion Questions

[EdZ]

Hand education must be about lag sensation as well as alignments .........

A very important point.

...for there to be no pivot the right shoulder needs to be preset in its impact degree of "downness"... otherwise the right shoulder needs to move down to maintain lag sensation at pp3 and this movement automatically creates pivot.

SO zero pivot can be done but 12 inches back and forward at most and ball needs to be back in stance and right shoulder down at impact height...and impact address probably better for both hit nd swing... to ensure no pivot and right shoulder preset in down impact position...

The Right Shoulder is part of both the Pivot and the Power Package. Therefore, when Power Package Thrust alone actuates the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club), Shoulder Motion does not violate a Zero Pivot requirement (2-H).

If, on the other hand, the Shoulder is Pulled into Start Down by the Hip Action, then there has been Pivot Thrust and at least a Partial Pivot.

Thanks Yoda, i understand your point on right shoulder now... i think

if right shoulder movement is merely to allow stability of pressure points but the drive for movement comes from left shoulder then there is no pivot thrust - only shoulder passive motion. ? Is that right?
