Patrick The quick answer is yes. That would be Hands to Pivot. The long answer....... Homer said that the "Hands are not educated until they control the pivot". He also defined the Pivot as "A multiple universal-joint assembly between the the Stationary Head and the Startionalry Feet holding the Clubshaft "On Plane" by positioning and adjusting the Lever Assembly, through the #3 Accumulator , as directed by the Right Forearm". He also said that the #3pp was at the top of the Longitudinal Center of Gravity the Sweetspot Plane, which is what CF is really swinging On Plane as opposed to the clubshaft. Meaning that the feeling at the #3pp is the feeling of the Sweetspot. So to direct the #3pp is to direct the Sweetspot , so to speak. And if your pivot complies in a manner that promotes this Tracing or Thrusting at the Aiming Point, which ever you prefer...........then the answer to your question is....yes. And you are therefor Hands to Pivot. Again I say, if you are Tracing , or if you prefer Thrusting at the Aiming Point, you are Hands to Pivot. Pivot to Hands is the Pivot throwing the Hands off plane. If they are on plane...........you dont have a problem. Homer said "A Shoulder Turn Takeaway is always under plane". If you are on plane , despite your Shoulders contribution to the backstroke powering .......you are good, Hands to Pivot. Something that can only be accomplished if the Pivot and the Arms , Zones 1 and 2 travel in different directions. The Shoulder Turn Takeaway Homer refers to is one where the Shoulders and Arms are locked together and travel as a single unit. United by tension at the Arm to Shoulder connection or via Pressure Point blackout, ignorance. Last edited by O.B.Left : 05-04-2010 at 01:16 AM.
