In the context of my post and the 2nd paragraph in 7-12-

"The image of the pivot transporting the Power Package needs to be ingrained into the psyche of every" - 3 barrel Hitter. At least that is how I would write what you wrote.

Let the Pivot do its job- Let the pivot move the Hands, Let the pivot move the Power Package. The Hands trained the pivot well to enjoy the free ride.
I still like the imagine of the whole Power Package going "bye-bye" as a passenger on the pivot train.

The pivot isn't a hip motion. Nor is it a hip motion that sets up ......
The pivot is the combined motion or lack thereof - of the feet, knees, hip, shoulder motions. See Homer Kelley's definition(s).

Of course the pivot is more than the motion of the Hips, but it is the Hips that Hula Hula with the shoulders to set up the delivery of the Hands.

It is the acceleration method (Hitting or Swinging) and it's particular loading characteristics that "tends" to set up a punch elbow position for the Hitter's Power Package and a pitch elbow postion for the Swinger's Power Package. Although- elbow positions are really just optional choices (variations) depending on one's inherent pattern- nothing mandatory there. To infer that the Hitter always would have a punch elbow position or the Swinger always would have a pitch elbow position- really misses what the Golfing Machine book is all about.

When I said punch (small p), I was refering to the feel of the attack the right arm in a Hit Stroke, not the Elbow Position. A Hitter sets up like a boxer and drives a punch through the ball.

Again, most of this is just the mechanical features of what is happening and not ideas that you would want to focus on while making the movement. Except - when you are improving your movement, this wealth of mechanical information can help you understand the nature of your particular problem and become an important problem solving tool chest to unravel your particular movement puzzle.

Anyway Mike- Just trying to keep you on "my" train of thinking. Not saying that it's the right train to be on.

I have enjoyed the scope of your Golfing Machine knowledge for many years, especially when I was the top dumb hammer in a box of dumb hammers. Today I can make a few Machine adjustments and that my friend is a great feeling.
