If using the right shoulder - how does one incorporate the #4 Left side Accum.?
The #4 Accumulator (Left Arm) is carried across the Chest during the Backstroke (to about 45 degrees). It is now Accumulated. It is Stored in this position, along with the Power Package. The Downstroke Delivers the #4 Accumulator to the Release position.
During Delivery, The Left Arm moves Down the Chest together with the Power Package, but it does not move away from the Chest (Which triggers it's Release). As the Shoulders continue their Rotation and become open to the Target, the Hands become in-line with the Ball. Then the Left Arm will Blast off the Chest; Release. The In-line position of the Left Arm, #4 Accumulator, is when both Arms are Straight.

6-M-1 DOWNSTROKE SEQUENCE ....
For maximum Power, the position of must be taken with that will allow Delay of the Release until all Components, except the Right Foot and Right Shoulder, have reached, or passed the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball per 6-B-1-C. Then the Accumulators must move very rapidly toward their “In-Line” Position. But none should actually arrive (lose all their Lag and Drag until well after Impact. Also see 6-H-0.
My mistake on wording... I meant to write selected shoulder turn and the Rotated is my choice based off mt pattern. I find my best feels are with pitch elbow so I was wondering there was as correlation, but I do find that If I let 4 go early without enough pa1, I get into a push position.
I wonder if you could clarify what and.or when a stroke is considered pivot controlled. As a hitter, do we not pivot by loading pa1 and bending the right arm? Since I'm looking to set my arms in my backswing using my left shoulder, I would be considered using a PC backstroke?

Wow, you're all over the place.
How do you get the Right Shoulder to Backstop the Right Arm Thrust?

You can't "Thrust" with a Pitch Elbow. Hitters Elbow Position is at the Side so that it becomes Aligned for pushing during Release.

Does the Clubshaft become "in-line" with your Right Forearm after ball Separation? It is, if you release early, otherwise you'll miss the ball or severely "Top" the Ball. That's a problem with Pivot Controlled Stroke Procedure. "Over-acceleration" causes the Early Release, your right elbow is out of alignment and you run out of right arm before the ball is stuck, and the Clubhead can't reach the Ball without flipping your Right Wrist. You are Pulling Down From the Top with Your Left Arm. I bet that your starting to narrow your stance and playing the ball back a little. Further adjustments won't correct the situation, but they will make you erratic on the golf course. One day great the next day, not so good.

The use of a Rotated Shoulder Turn is further evidence of using the Pivot to control the path of the Clubhead. I'm not dissing you. It takes a hell of an Athlete and Hand-Eye coordination to swing like you do.
Pivot Controlled Strokes are those that hurl the Clubhead at the Ball compared to Hands Controlled which directs the Right Elbow into the Release Zone. You're monitoring the Pivot rather than monitoring the Hands.

You can load the Power Package with a Non-Pivot Stroke.
Pivots occur naturally when the Shoulder Turn, in order to keep Turning, causes other Pivot Components to move.
Swingers Bend the Right Elbow like a "Preacher Curl"...Hitters Bend the Right Elbow like a Right Arm "Cable Pull".....

. A Pivot is only superficially correct that fails to maintain alignments or allows the player to get “out of position”.
You will need a Recovery Period, to reset Alignments, before you begin Startdown, in order to direct the Right Elbow into the Release while it's moving simultaneously down, out and forward.
Once you Start a Pivot Controlled Procedure (it's extremely difficult to Switch) you complete the swing by monitoring the Pivots direction Control of the Clubhead.

Hey D, you're on fire these days. Great info and effort.
Im thinking:
-first sentence above assumes 10-15-B Delayed, no? Using 10-15-A Standard Hip Action, the Hips lead and pull the shoulders in both directions. Its "Hula, Hula" not just "Hula". Not so common anymore but I think Luke does this. You know all this and more, I realize, it was you that introduced me to Hip Action. Just clarifying things for the folks following along at home.
-dont know what you mean by "Cable Pull" exactly, but one point that Lynn corrected in my Hitting Stroke and/or perception of things, might relate to this. Namely, an elbow saw or piston like right arm fold , while displayed in the Alignment Golf DVD by V.J. during the chipping, hinging discussion, is really verging on a Push Basic Stroke. One variation available to us in terms of Elbow Position, but recommended for short shots only. These little shots can of course also be executed using a less piston like Punch Elbow with an associated increase in Fanning in the Fanning/Bending mix.
Per 10-3-C PUSH. "From an "up-and-out" Elbow Position, which keeps the Hnads always between the Elbow and Ball.............heavy pushing action........This is essentially a Hitting procedure for less than full power. .............It produces an automatic Vertical Hinging. Moved "cross lIne" it produces an automatic Angled Clubface Hinging." Some omissions for brevity by me.
I had mistakenly been morphing a more linear, less fanning right arm into my full swing startup, thinking this was the Hitters ideal. Not Keereckt. Wrong-o.
Per 10-3-A PUNCH. "From a "down- and-at-the-side" Elbow Position whether the Elbow is touching the Body or not, a straight-line Right Hand Punch is delivered through Imapct (6-E). Per 6-C-2-A and 7-19. Except with a 10-3-C (Push), the Right Forearm must have a "Fanning" type of motion, not a "Linear" Push Stroke type of motion (10-3-C).
So to my mind anyways, the swingers and hitters elbow positions (and therefore their Major Basic Strokes and associated Right Forearm Takeaways) can if you so choose have more in common than they do differences. The Pitch Elbow vs a Punch Elbow that touchs the side of the body, for instance, necessitating a similar though not exactly the same RFT, Fanning and Bending wise. Coming into the ball as well. Smaller pulley wheel too? Later release of #2? Still doing some thinking on these but Im thinking the answer is yes.
And now for something shocking........what if the Right Arm didnt Fan but rather was Fanned? By the Pivot in Startup! Leaving the Right Arm to simply bend, actively, on its own. You need a Pivot in Startup! Golf is a motion, dont freeze things up, lock things down. Its a dance and one you hopefully do like no one is watching. Let er go.
-In terms of the difference between Pivot controlled Hands and Hand Controlled Pivot, I submit the following. The "always under plane", "distructive" shoulder turn takeaway that Mr Kelley refered to, is a Pivot that takes the hands with it in the direction that it, the pivot is going (Back). The correction for this does not necessarily imply a different pivot per say but rather the addition of Plane Line Tracing by the Hands. Ultimately resulting in the Pivot going its way (Back) while the Hands go their, separate way (UP) on the backswing. A far superior method to a Pivot controlled Hands procedure that attempts to have the Shoulders make the Arms arrive at Top on the appropriate Arm Plane. A way too steep turn of the shoulders resulting and unnecessary. So Pivot goes Back , Hands go Up. Two different directions of movement. Divide and prosper.
Start down is a somewhat different deal where, assuming a Turned Shoulder Plane and Axis Tilt etc, the Right Shoulder takes the Power Package down the TSP, they ride it together the Right Shoulder providing the initial power until the Hands accelerate away from the Shoulders and continue down plane on their own power.
Thanks for all the great posts of late Daryl. Are you playing any, these days?
Ob
Yep. Delayed. An Almost "must do" procedures for Swingers; but, I do preset my Hips out of the way of the Backstroke like Hogan and Brian Gay with a set-up procedure.

As a Hitter, it's easier for him because of his Impact Fixed hands position at address. Extensor Action takeaway draws the Right Elbow Back immediately. This gives him a path for his Pivot. Besides, it's very awkward for him to have a pre-set hip turn with a Forward Hands Set-up. But Swingers need a Stationary Right Elbow at Start-up. A Standard Pivot would move the Elbow as the Hips Turn.

"Cable Pull" on a weight machine at the gym. It's the same as an Elbow Saw or Piston with a little Fanning. I agree that the Punch Elbow is a Fanning-Punch, not linear. The Hands and Right Forearm are brought into Release in a Fanned condition from which the Punch begins.

No, Never, not even If Tortured. Unless you're a Hitter.

Hands never move on their own Power. They move Away from the Right Shoulder, but as a Package, Pivoting downward from the shoulder sockets during the Downstroke as though both arms and elbows and hands were in a cast with no parts moving at a different speed than another. The Direction is Down, not out. Outward is for Release.
I have an experiment for you to try. It will give you a very late release. It's just so that you can feel what your missing.
Practice Swing: Read instructions first.
Backstroke Procedure,
Address, with the Club, Arms only, Extend your Left Arm straight while using your Right Arm, like doing a right arm curl, to raise your Left Arm and club to the top of the swing and to hold your left arm against your chest. Let this motion pull your pivot into a coil. It will begin to move your hips as you get to the top.
Downstroke Procedure,
Keep pulling the Left Arm against the Chest and start the downswing. Do not release the right biceps muscle. Let go of the right biceps muscle to release the Left Arm as late (as very Late) as you can into the Release Zone. Feel the Release Sequence of a Late Release. You can hit Ball this way.
It's in no way the proper way to Swing a Club, but it's fun to feel the Coil and the togetherness on the downswing and the Super Late explosive Release.
Yep. Delayed. An Almost "must do" procedures for Swingers; but, I do preset my Hips out of the way of the Backstroke like Hogan and Brian Gay with a set-up procedure.
I wasnt referring to a mere turn of the rigth hip out of the way or a pre set but an actual slight lateral bump of the hips as a first move going back with a delayed turn even. I dont do it, but believe this to be the Hula Hula, Standard Hip Action, Luke and others employ.
Love your thing about Swingers leaving the right elbow in place.

Are you saying Hitters are Tortured? How rude. This was a surprise for me too when I first heard it. The Green Guy may have to wade in here but it does reconcile some conflicting concepts for me. Like how does the grip end stay in front of the body in start up etc. You know the grip end in the belly button drill vs a quick move of the left arm across the chest like in an actively fanning right arm in startup with a quiet pivot. With the Pivot taking care of the Fanning the Right arm need only do the pickup, bending. Bottom line is you dont want to freeze your pivot in startup, Hitting or Swinging.

Thanks for this insight. But how can they move Down, not Out when traveling on an inclined plane?

Seems like the pivot and the left side have to do a lot of the work no - not just the right?
