Apology if Breach of copyright...book is 80 years old and out of print... is this allowed ... hope so...

Thank you, Golfbulldog. Let's go one step further and put up Exercises #3 and #4. These constitute a pure TGM Pivot.

Note the Centered Head in #3.

Note the Centered and Turned Head in #4.

Note the Flat Backstroke Hip and Shoulder Turns in #4 and especially the absence of Backstroke Shoulder Turn "pie" (inclination of the back from the vertical).

This is the Pivot I teach and have taught since 1982, regardless of misrepresentations to the contrary.

Per Homer Kelley:

1-L-#1 "The Stationary Post (Player's Head) accurately returns the Clubhead to the Ball."

1-L-#2 "The Post may turn (Pivot) but it does not Sway or Bob."

I believe there is a connection somewhere somehow between Yoda, HK and Paul Betholy.
Here is an exercise PB employed - looks like learning the snap release with a lead pipe

That's the "claw"- I don't think it is a snap release since it is the only release PB used but certainly delays impact.
