What exactly does it mean for the 'hands to control the pivot'?
Thanks.

Basically it means that while the pivot may have a role in moving the club, arms and hands, it does so as the needs of the hands dictate. Non-golfing example - drop a pencil on the floor and pick it up. Your body does a lot of work here (unless you have some particuarly bizarre method of picking up pencils!), but it is 'at the command of' the hands - your focus is most likely on moving your hands to the pencil. In golf, the equivalent is your focus being on moving you hands up and down the plane and to your impact position (at the right speed to maintain lag pressure I guess) - that doesn't mean you're necessarily using an 'armsy' stroke, any more than you were only using your hands when you bent down to pick up the pencil - the pivot is involved, but in a supporting role to the hands. Pivot-controlled hands (on the other hand ) is when you focus on pivot components in the hope that they will get the hands or club into the right place at impact e.g. initiate the downswing by turning your hips back towards the target and just hold on.
