Swinging is all about Body Momentum Transfer into the essentially inert Left Arm and Club. You can be very still in a Putt or little Chip and use just the Left Arm to Pull itself through, but by the time you get to the Pitch Shots, you need at least a partial Pivot Motion to help the Left Arm along. The Hitter uses the Body differently -- the Right Shoulder now acts as a Launching Pad for the drivng Right Arm instead of as a Rotor for the swinging Left Arm -- but some Pivot Motion is still helpful, if not essential. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
