Go-ahead and test your results with the V.J. Trolio Dowel Drill. Let us know the results. Pass or Fail?[/quote]
Thanks;
It enables me to pass the dowel drill. BECAUSE- (now I have not tested long enough to see all the results). I FEEL that my pelvis rotates MUCH quicker but also slows quickly and sooner. I have a better pivot separation between pelvis and shoulders. maybe I shouldnt mention the words but _KINEMATIC SEQUENCE- with distinct hip and shoulder separation.
The rollers do not help with balance because I will just roll off or push them away if I put much pressure against them. I just feel position.

That's good news. And ya, anyone who overdoes the lateral slide will feel like the the pelvis rotates much more quickly. But as long as posture doesn't change, then the Hips won't interfere with the VJ Drill.
Please don't use "Kinematic Sequence". Please use "Pivot Lag".
I am still testing and looking.
I am at the point where a "no slide" feel is what I need to work on. Even with a no slide feel I have a slide.
I have look closely in the mirror and even with short strokes and trying not to I have a slide.
I have traced to find a necessary clearance for the right elbow and it takes very little to assure clearance. short clubs with closer hands have elbow contact for rffw than longer clubs with proper rffw. This surprised me.
Much of this may be because I "was" an old C guy- ?? Old Habit that still stuck?
I am going to work on this feel. I see plenty of slide and hip clearance with a no slide feel. Comments? Suggestions?
Difficult to tell without a video. But slide with a no slide feel sounds good to me. As if you're literally on top of things and not ducking down behind the ball. Which is probably just about right.

I just did a weight distribution experiment and I am shocked by the results.
I used two bathroom scales;
At address- 60% front foot, 40% back foot- I address at impact fix. My feel is that I have a 50/50 Surprise #1
At top- 65-70% back foo- Surprise -I feel 95% back and when I tried to get back more I felt very uncomfortable.
My shift at top- 65-70% FRONT - before start down. my fel is that little weight moved with the shift.
I can not measure further but I do wind up on front foot UNLESS I block myself out.
I am VERY surprised as I have always felt that most (90%++)weight went back.
This is strange teretory for me.
I am seeing that using a right forearm take away- the hips do not rotate back until the stroke is long enough that the shoulder turn pulls the hips back, but only the amount necessary.
BUT
in ALL strokes the hips lead [AND power??]the down stroke? - EVEN if they were not turned in the backstroke? (chip, short pitch)
Is this a correct observation?
Where in TGM do I find this motion?
Thanks

10-15-B DELAYED The Shoulders lead and power the Backstroke Hip Turn – or at least lead. The Hips then take over and lead and power the Downstroke Shoulder Turn. Use this Hip Turn to prevent overswinging. Turn the Hips a predetermined amount – or none at all – and then “semi-lock” them at that point before starting back with either the Shoulders or the Club. This will stop the Shoulder Turn at any preselected place, tighten the Left Side tension and set the stage perfectly for the Hips to initiate the Downstroke Shoulder Acceleration. But remember, the shorter the Backstroke Turn, the steeper the Plane Angle (10-13-D). See 2-N and 7-17.

I would guess that the bathroom scales respond to slow to show accurate figures for a good motion. The weight shift is not simply a shift of static balance point. You can apply a lot of pressure through back foot first, then front foot - without actually moving much around. Because you're using the pressure to feed the golf club with swing speed.
Your readings may be discriminating agains the most hard-working leg at any time.
