The hands-controlled-pivot can work, only if there is "lag" for them to pull or push against.
Load the "lag" and sustain it.
If a player has never felt , or been aware of, lag pressure... Is it easier for them to recognise a large amount of lag pressure or a small amount of lag pressure?
Whilst their technique may not be adequate to sustain large amount of lag pressure ( throwaway and poor structure) is it not better that they really feel what they have got to sustain?
Do heavy clubs work this way? Give the player a massive dollop of lag pressure in transition phase that then allows them to recognise the more subtle flavours of lag pressure with a normally weighted club?
It is hard to sustain something that you are not aware of...
