This is great stuff- Mike.
The image of the pivot transporting the Power Package needs to be ingrained onto the psyche of every TGMer. The pivot is not a twist or a spin but a hip motion that sets up either a punch for a Hitter’s Power Package or a slingshot for the Swinger’s Power Package.

btw-This is why you can not be effective in trying to pull and push.

In the context of my post and the 2nd paragraph in 7-12-

"The image of the pivot transporting the Power Package needs to be ingrained into the psyche of every" - 3 barrel Hitter. At least that is how I would write what you wrote.

The pivot isn't a hip motion. Nor is it a hip motion that sets up ......
The pivot is the combined motion or lack thereof - of the feet, knees, hip, shoulder motions. See Homer Kelley's definition(s).

It is the acceleration method (Hitting or Swinging) and it's particular loading characteristics that "tends" to set up a punch elbow position for the Hitter's Power Package and a pitch elbow postion for the Swinger's Power Package. Although- elbow positions are really just optional choices (variations) depending on one's inherent pattern- nothing mandatory there. To infer that the Hitter always would have a punch elbow position or the Swinger always would have a pitch elbow position- really misses what the Golfing Machine book is all about.

Again, most of this is just the mechanical features of what is happening and not ideas that you would want to focus on while making the movement. Except - when you are improving your movement, this wealth of mechanical information can help you understand the nature of your particular problem and become an important problem solving tool chest to unravel your particular movement puzzle.

Anyway Mike- Just trying to keep you on "my" train of thinking. Not saying that it's the right train to be on.
