Your statement describing the feeling that the tailbone points left of the target is very interesting. That would satisfy the requirement of a parallel hip slide. Unfortunately, when I feel I am sliding parallel to the plane line, I am actually sliding diagonally. THe turned hips create a false feel.

Just to avoid confusiuon: If target is at 12 a clock, I'd say the tailbone should point at 10 or 10.10 during the forward slide. (I.e. not plain "left" which would be 9 a clock.

That while - for a swinger - the sliding movement itself is parallell to the target line.
