mb, that rings bells. I'm not sure my pivot throws down and out correctly. Any tips as to how I can learn to do this? Thnx.
Something to add to the incubator - focus on your right forearm motion and your right elbow positon and make slow motion swings from hip to hip, then hip (backswing) to full finish. Check your impact position and make sure your left arm and club are in line (face on) and your right forearm and shaft are in line (down the line). Move slowly and smoothly, no jerky motions, and when you get to your finish position, hold it for a count of ten to check your balance.
Doing this will help show you how a focus on your right forearm can dictate to your pivot, a hands control, or forearm control, motion.

The pivot is not a spin but a weigh transfer plus rotation. I had the problem of stopping the pivot to slug at the ball. I re-designed the pivot hip action to build the Lane for the hands and arms which allowed me to continue to rotate with my Educated hands. In fact, now stopping is a braking action and who does that?
It is the hands not the pivot attached to the club but I feel my right hip and hands strike through the ball at the same time.
Guys, another question (or 2) on 'flipping' if I may, and I'm sure you're gonna think these are stupid questions. Feel free. I'm probably showing my ignorance.
Q: Is a flip only a flip if it's done before impact and leads to BLW through impact? Is it still a flip if it's done when the hands are past the ball (but prior to impact) ie if you've managed to get your hands past the ball leading the clubhead but then 'flip'?
