Training the pivot.

He thought the Zones were in order 1, 2, 3 for a reason.

Now, we all know that people can make compensations for poor alignments and motions... up to a point. The HANDS can control the Pivot, but the PIVOT must be doing the right things to allow those HANDS, and ARMS to work well.

What do you think?

Well TT thought correctly because Homer put everything in order of importance inside the chapters.

The hands design the pivot is another way to say a hands controlled pivot. The control is over the design and function- not motion. Every good pivot once designed and trained starts from the bottom up. That means the hands do little once the down stroke begins. The hands are the first thing to set in motion on the take-up and the last thing that moves on the down stroke. Once the lane is open – blast off. Let the accumulators unload.

The split-hands drill described above. Jimmy Ballard also uses that one.
