Back in 2004, I presented the hip slide question to Chuck Evans
on his then website: "In your ebook, you state "THE Higher the
hands at the top of the swing (above the right shoulder) the MORE
pronounced the hip slide. The LOWER the hands (at/or below
shoulder height the less hip slide." Homer notes say the amout
of Hip Slide is dependent on swing plane. The flatter the plane the
more PONOUNCED the the slide is. The more upright the plane the
more subtle the slide. Please comment on the difference.

Chuck said, " I posted on this in another thread. If the hands are
above shoulder height, then they MUST get back to shoulder
height BEFORE they can trace the Delivery line...thus more hip
slide. But NEVER overdo this hip slide...It's only about two inches.

I guess that Chuck thinks in terms of how high the hands go, rather
than Flat/Upright. Hitters seem more upright but the hands do not
go above shoulder height. Swingers can go to the end with a flatter
swing. From what I read, the downswing starts from shoulder
height and then Homer's note comes into play.
