The book does, of course, give options on the backswing, for the hips... Slide Turn, Delayed Hip Action, etc..

Dear Lagster,

As with Homer's "hands controlled pivot", it is a correct "pushing" from the pressure points in the hands that controls the "hip action" and causes the right arm to clear the right hip without interference on the way down and also controls the hands path on the backswing so that the pivot action does not "pull' the club too much off path to the inside.

I find the "hands controlled pivot more effective to manage for most golfers.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Peter
