Sam Snead's hips slow down considerably from relase swivel onwards and the power package zips agross his chest and the "arms are flung from the sockets" ( paraphrase of his words often repeated by Ben Doyle apparently).
Sounds to me like they have been driven into orbit by the pivot active component... but the pivot contiues to move - not to drive but to sustain pp3 pressure.
NB. Lets be clear - i am not saying this is the gospel - this is the "seems as if" that i am currently playing with, it does not mean throwawa...just release... i started the thread to discuss the topic - not top try to convince people. But in the manner of an debate - i have to set out the topic for discussion . Thanks for your comment and enjoy Sam!
golfbulldog i understand where your coming from and agree with what you say is going on. However my FEEL is obviously very different to yours. If i think about the pivot slowing down i'll quit and have throw away.
When i practice hitting balls left handed i concentrate on throwing the left arm off the chest. I know as you say for this to happen there must be some slow down of the pivot, but to me it still feels like theres so much work going on there. The pivot certainly doesn't give up the ghost after accumulator #4 is released. For me trying to slow down the pivot is a terrible swing thought, far better to think about throwing a heavy left arm at the ball and let your body respond naturally.
