I was thinking about all this as I was playing today. I want to add that for anyone who is reading this and just embarking on this crazy journey, this stuff Im talking about here is what works for me. It isnt 12-1 or 12-2 exactly. In the past I have had very, very good games where I was pretty close to 12-1. You can hit it pretty darn far with a sweep release, bigger pulley wheel even. To each their own, of course but Homer wanted us all to start at 12-1 or 12-2 and so we should. Heck I could end up back there for all I know.
My deal was I had a misunderstanding about the role of the Pivot in Hitting. I let it wilt a bit and lost the proper ground/up Downswing Sequence of 6-M-1 on occasion. Its easy to run out of right arm when that happens and so I'd go back and forth on Hitting vs Swinging. When my sequence was good Hitting was easy, when my pivot stalled all hell would break loose. I knew it had something to do with running out of right arm and so I knew I had to deliver a bent right arm to release better with the right shoulder which meant I had to slide my hips etc etc etc......... I reengineered my way backwards until I eventually realized what my problem was. 6-M-1 is just as true for Hitters as it is for Swingers. We all need a Pivot and a proper Downswing Sequence.
Homer did say "lag, in all its forms" , is the secret. I think he was referring to the downswing sequence and the lag and drag of its various component parts, be you Hitting or Swinging. Im talking Major Basic Strokes here of course.
