Shoulders moving = pivot?
Just a question. A little confused.

What does Homer mean when he writes in 7-13 (7th ed), "Being part of the Power Package, as well as the Pivot, the Shoulder motion does not necessarily violate a Zero Pivot requirement."?

In a putting stroke, if I feel like PP#4 (shoulder movement) drives the motion while I monitor the hands, am I making a pivot stroke? If the shoulders were responding to moving my hands would I not be making a pivot?

Last night, on the British Open highlights, I saw Daly hit a putt from something like 60 yards on one of the huge doudle greens at St. Andrews. He said it was the hardest he swung the whole day. Other than such extreme lengths, wouldn't we want to minimize factors that increase force and concentrate on factors that increase precision?
