One more thing, I have been a flipper so I know what you are going through. THE thing that made me progress was monitoring the hands...... I even hit chips by just looking at the hands, to make sure of keeping the structure intact. Then keeping my eyes closed, to get the right feel of it.
Thanks for the thread link... i do not consciously remember the link but i feel sure i must have read it sometime... it would have interested me at the time...
I still think that a bent right wrist inevitably means lag sensation is involved... especially if you start from standard (mid body hands) address....because once your left wrist flattens/right bends... you got lag sensation....and maintenance of lag sensation for swingers is usually achieved by pivot moving hands....
BuT in basic motion , zero pivot ( which i have tried and can do OK) the left shoulder pulls the hands forward... and 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...
Feels like a mini-total motion HIT but not like a mini - total motion swing... that is my problem
Learning hitting from zero pivot basic motion = ideal.... but learn swinging from chip pitch ... then you have alignments, lag sensation and powersource in mini swing which is an exact scaled down version of total motion.
that is practical, realistic ... why should swingers learn alignments ( straight plane and FLW)without lag sensation being sustained in the maner it will be in acquired/total motion...? that is the last i sa at moment... i will read everyone else though... you guys stimulate thoughts...thanks... but i am sounding like a stuck record... PS . i love hitting for chips and small pitches...with minimal pivot!!
I think that you talk about accumlator lag when you say you need a pivot to get it. The lag pressure in the hands will be loaded by the change of direction from backswing to downswing.
There is certainly a blend and overlap of the three Lags.
Accumulator Lag is power package and all of its decisions as to load and release. Pivot Lag is the gear train- the Swinger’s gyro or the Hitter’s Platform that begins from the lower body on up.
Clubhead Lag is the lead and drag of the clubhead, the deliberate, positive and heavy Clubhead/Hands relationship.
The shoulders are part of the pivot (Z1) and power package (Z2), both commanded by the Hands (Z3).
...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.

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?
