Now, another related question. I always believe that Hitting the ball further is all about be able to generate more speed.

Now, Pivot is a massive vehicle which transports the Power Package Assembly, therefore if I am correct Pivot is not giving any speed but only the hands are (Endless Belt effect)
So could I have a firm sort of defination about Pivot Power, according to the previous debate, pivot is just a Bearing and have minimum Kinetic Energy. But if we look at it from a different Angle the inside moving the outside. So is the pivot a Electric Motor or It is a Bearing?

Please really give some precise thought to it, rather then just answer the question from the book.
Pivot without the Hands and Hands without the Pivot is like using a water pistol to hunt for quails (sorry, I could not resist!).

You need to marry the Pivot with the Hands and that is the whole foundation of TGM - Pivot Powered Hand Controlled Pivot.
Too many people do not understand this relationship between the Hands and the Pivot and thus TGM degenerates into a "Hand" camp and a "Pivot" camp.

Think of the Pivot in swinging as a merry-go-round. The faster the merry-go-round spins, the faster your speed when you are "thrown-off"

What are the Pivot components?

They are:

Pivot
Shoulder Turn
Hip Turn
Hip Action
Knee Action
Foot Action


The Shoulders are the farthest (from the center) and the fastest moving components of the pivot and they transmit the motion of the pivot to the arms.

Power is transmitted to the hands and it is not independently generated by the hands.
