Interesting thread lots of good stuff to learn here.

One thing i've been confused about with basic motion is the power source. As the pivot is zeroed out and the swinger uses #4 accumulator is this not an independant left arm motion. Which is what we actually try to avoid in total motion? I've tried zeroing out the pivot and to me it doesn't feel right. The only way i can get a nice swinging sensation is starting the downsing with my feet and having a little pivot.

Can anybody help enlighten me?

Cheers Danny

For the zero pivot stroke of 12-5-1, the swinger would use 10-3-D, Pull Minor and the hitter would use 10-3-K, Bat Minor.

I believe you may have confused the Bat Minor with its elder brother the Pitch Basic Stroke per 10-3-B, thus making it feel "unright".

Another reason why it doesnt feel right, I can only offer the answer: 'Habit'.

For me to have extraneous movement during a 12-5-1 stroke, pivot or otherwise, would feel very alien.
