MacDonald's exercises seem to be arms, legs and feet focused. Little core strength.
Jeff Hulls Video in Gallery on 1st move down with the Ugh ! seems to be hips and core muscles.
Ben Doyle chips from feet.
"Sit Down" seems to be a core muscle function
Tiger's snapping the knee to extend the radius causes the throw out and down to be faster.
McHatton's constant motion to drag and produce throw out is caused by "golf hips"
All of my previous experience with Doyle, Tomasello, Sloan, Hebron McHatton, Schaeffer, Ness, and other TGM instructors has been focused on pivot. All of these guys are successful, smart, knowledgable and have accomplished students.!
It would seem to me that there has to be a balance and synchrony involved in the motion. I would hope that civility would be maintained and all you experts could discuss it in a meaningful way. All I know is that Ben and Greg constantly talk about having to work on the pivot.

Of the eleven MacDonald Exercises (Drills) http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=4435, the first four and the last two concern the Body (Zone 1) and its rotation via the Pivot (Component #12). And specifically, Exercises #2 and #11 introduce the early and essential rotation via the core muscles of the hips and lower back (Components #14 and #15). So, more than half the drills emphasize the body's 'stacked and centered' address alignments and its subsequent rotation.
The other exercises introduce and coordinate the equally-essential movements of the Arms (Zone 2) and Hands (Zone 3).

Read the first paragraph of 7-12 in TGM book. The first sentence is for power the next two are for accuracy. A more passive pivot provides power and accuracy at impact. An aggressive pivot will provide power and reduce accuracy at impact.

Purehitter,
I like the last sentence of 7-12 too. "Because, starting down with a Hip Turn tends to bring the Right Shoulder and Elbow too close to the Ball, which delays the straightening of the Right Arm and leaves the Clubface too open at impact."
