How does #4 work in a 3 barrel swinging stroke with hands controlled pivot? If I monitor #4, the pivot seem to take control. Thanks to all for a great site.

Number four is the pivot.

The pivot is the most misunderstood concept in TGM. Many are so fearful that ANY pivot means a pivot controlled swing that they inhibit it from doing its job- that idea is very wrong. The pivot does what the hands assigned them to do in order to impact the ball. The hands are the boss, the body or pivot is the hard labor. The pivot shall never impart its will over the hands but will always do the grunt of the swing as they are told. Homer says to train the pivot first. Let the hands align its task and let it run.
