I was beating balls out of the dirt today and thinking about the time old TGM question- Is it the Pivot or the Hands? Since I am working on my hip action- my pivot sensation is truly heightened. Oddly, when I perform the pivot just right, it disappears and I can only sense my left arm’s rhythm and swivel.
I think that as neophytes we get hammered with the phrase, “Hands controlled Pivot” and never really understand the role of each. Hands train and the pivot works as trained.

The pivot cannot trace the plane line.
The hands and arms cannot shift weight or rotate the hips horizontally.

So....
The hands stay on the incline flat swing plane and trace the plane line and the pivot shifts weight, relocates the swing center and clears a lane for the hands to trace into impact.

7-14/7-15 Hula Hula - funny name, but another TGM gem not taught anywhere else.

As they say in New Jersey - Perfect Together.
