The short answer, KOC, is that the player always drives his Hands (Lag Pressure) toward the Ball (6-G-0). But as your post suggests, there is more to learn here.

In full Pivot Strokes (Maximum Swing Radius), the Centrifugal Downstroke Sequence (6-M-1) (of both the Pivot and the Power Package) is a chain reaction from the Feet up. The work of Educated Hands is to sense and align this Force. And proper alignment of the Hands and their Down Plane Delivery Path requires that the Right Hip 'Clear' from the Top. In this sense, the work of the Pivot is reactive to the intended purpose of the Hands -- to precisely propel their Load Down Plane (6-E-2-1) -- even though it does, in fact, initiate the Action.

So what do the Hands do from the Top? First, they continue their Grip function as Clamps (for controlling Clubface alignments) and, also, their On Plane alignment functions (aiming the Lag Pressure). Then, they begin their drive toward the Ball. However, during the Start Down and even during the Downstroke, they will feel as though they remain at the Top of the Stroke. That is because they enjoy a fixed relationship with the Right Shoulder during the Pivot's Delivery of the Power Package into Release (6-K-0), and there is no independent motion of the Hands until they have been delivered to the Release Point.

In other words, if the Hands are at Top -- Right Shoulder high and On Plane - and the Right Shoulder moves Down Plane (as pulled by the Hip Turn and its Action) then the Hands will feel 'in the same place,' namely, in their same fixed relationship with the Right Shoulder. Only when the Hands begin their move away from the Right Shoulder and the Right Arm thus begins to straighten in Release will the player experience their independent motion.

A few points to clarify . . .

First of all, this is without question the most illuminating description of the Hand Controlled Pivot I have read.

To piggy back on the original question that brought this about . . . at the Top particularly for the Swinger it is THE INTENT of the hands to make they journey down plane that essentially causes the Pivot Train to kick in to gear no?

And . . .

The Hands remain in their relationship with the Right Shoulder until they move away via the straigtening of the right arm, but this is permitted only by the release of the #4 Accumulator in keeping with the 4,1,2,3 sequence. So what is it that holds the Hands in their fixed relationship with the Right Shoulder? Would it be the inertia of the Lever Assemblies?

I wonder if some may have difficulty understanding this considering that it is the Right Arm that is always striving to straighten. So with the "Centrifugal Downstroke Sequence" (Feet, Knees, Hips, Shoulders, Arms, Right Elbow, Left Wristcock and/or Left Hand Rotation) for the Swinger, the Right Arm is Striving To Remain Straight via CF? In other words, it wants to go to straight via being Thrown Out or slung out by the Pivot?

Thanks again for taking the effort to construct that fantastic post!
