And so they Slide instead.
Are they too lazy to twist tho? Or are they untrained? I can't pivot properly left handed no matter how much effort I put into it. (even on lazy days)

I agree for beginners sometimes....but what about tour players who sway a bit? These guys can pivot.

So is it choice? or coincidence? or is it taught? or is it natural?

I absolutely agree that most golfers fail to Pivot properly because they are either untrained or improperly trained.
