Pivot work is not done after power package transportatin...after power package is blasted into orbit...ie. arm swing....it continues to move to allow power package to maintain in plane line requirement...
At least that is the way I see it.... it transports and powers and aligns the power package until blast off( release acc.4)...then it moves to allow maintaining of FLW and straight plane line tracing.... more accomodating motion rather than powering motion.
Please correct me if you think that this is wrong. Thanks.

Denny,
A daughter-caddy is one thing -- ask Orville Moody or Bruce Lietze! -- but a daughter typist . . .
Well, now . . .
That's priceless!
P.S. Hmmm . . . on the other hand, $4 per minute = $240 / hour = $960 / day. Which is about right for those caddies whose boss hits it on most every greeen and makes everything.

Swinging or Hitting.
How low or high of a shot ? Hook Slice? Or just
"a free turn in both directions"

I agree... this could be a good one!!!! Shoulder Turn, Hip Turn, Hip Action, Knees, Feet, Spine, Head, Tailbone, COG Transfers, etc.
Just because one believes in Hands Controlled Pivot, does not mean that the Pivot cannot be worked on. The 3 Zones... Body is #1, and if this is not working well, the Arms, and Hands will have a hard time doing their jobs.

PIVOT Example – revolving door.
Mechanical – That motion of a body moving around a center point.
Golf – A multiple universal-joint assembly between the Stationary Head and the Stationary Feet holding the Clubshaft “On Plane” by positioning and adjusting the Lever Assembly, through the #3 Accumulator, as directed by the Right Forearm.
PIVOT CENTER Example – thetherball pole.
Mechanical – The point on which an assembly is suspended or erected to stabilize and limit that assembly’s possible travel – the Hinge Pin.
Golf – Some point on the body kept stationary throughout the Stroke, to stabilize the motion
7-12 PIVOT The Pivot is the utilization of multiple centers to produce a circular motion for generating Clubhead Force on an adjustable Plane. Plus the maintenance of balance throughout the weight shifts that accompany the turning and bending of the necessary for the two Line Delivery Paths. A Pivot is on superficially correct that fails to maintain alignments or allows the player to get “out of position”. .

Homer also said that the golf swing was a ""multi stage rocket"".
You want to have a concentric arc swing(rhythm) . The pace is set by stage 1 of the rocket ----the pivot . The shoulders move best at rt angles to the spine with the necessary spine releases and axis tilts(to keep a stationary head).
Seems to me that many of us leave our power package behind because we are "drop sliding" because we were taught to drive are legs.
David Williams said in the book The Science of the Golf Swing that the hips should not get out of the way but rather an integral part of the gear effect that delivers the arms and club.
The leader of this symphony is the brain hand relationship,_--(minds)eye hand coordination

Denny,
Could you explain this or send me to a source that might shed more light on and support your statement(s).
Thanks

How do you think they should work in relation to the spine? I know you got an opinion/research . . . . you watch a lot of Grey's Anatomy right? I'm sure you were very frustrated when you saw those two little letters were not the first little letter you thought you heard.
So what does the Mike O School of Golf/Chopping-Up-Fat-Chicks say?
Are you gonna badger Denny into a death threat?
