I just want to clarify something. The Hitting folk make some distinction between hand-controlled pivot and pivot-controlled hands.
I'm thinking in swinging, that there is only one option - which I'd call "body controlled hands"... since the main action is by the body/shoulders to create centrifugal force. Or at least it seems this way when I try to swing.
Or...does anyone say that a swinger's pivot can be controlled by the hands and what would be some distinctions?
Thanks!
You need to master the Right Shoulder Turn Thrust as per 6-B-4-A. This is used in the Start Down and you should think of it as driving the Right Shoulder at the ball. Correctly performed, you should feel left arm against pp#4 and lag pressure on pp#3.
Remember the right shoulder is part of the Power Package and Pivot. So after using it to load your Accumulators, its job is to transport this loaded Power Package on plane and down plane.
That's what 'blasting' the left arm toward impact is about.
I suggest you fully master this Right Shoulder Thrust first. Then allow your Hands to join in the fun. Hands must maintain correct alignments throughout your stroke. You want Hands controlled Pivot, not the other way round.
Where is your mind on? If your mind is on your right shoulder or other pivot components, then you're using the inferior Pivot controlled Hands procedure. If you mind is in your Hands, then you're using Hands controlled Pivot.
So once you've 'got it', mind goes back into the Hands.
