I know Homer loved to pre-set the Hips to the right so the hands won't think that the hips will be in the way during TA. Maybe the slide on the TA is not a parallel move but a simultanous slide and turn??
You mean left pre-set? Also note that Homer was a hitter. A hitter pre-sets his hips to right of target line (closed hips if you like) which may cause a feel of presetting to clear the hips. As far as I've understand 10-14-B for a hitter is a slide on a line pointing right of target, and not - as for a swinger - parallell to target line.
