[Bold by Yoda.] I assume you mean "the shoulders [and Hands] operate quite independently of one another." Indeed they do. On the Backstroke, for example, the Hands and the #3 Pressure Point travel always On the Inclined Plane. In contrast, the Right Shoulder can Turn only "as Flat as possible" to the Inclined Plane. Coordinated? Of course. Independent? Absolutely! And that is the beauty of the way we were designed! Throw your car keys to the floor, and then reach down to pick them up. Did your hand move in a straight line? You bet it did! Did your right shoulder (assuming you are right-handed) move with your hand directly on the same inclined plane? Again, you bet! Did your body -- quite independently and without any separate instruction from you -- keep its balance and position itself perfectly to assist the hand in its assigned task? You know it did! If you understand this simple example, you understand Hand Controlled Pivot. Use this knowledge for a lifetime of Better Golf! __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
