Interesting questions and answers, guys. We "west coasters" try to get those gyroscopic forces going right from the start. Pivot, pivot, pivot. Drag, drag, drag.

A reason why this pivot takeaway has had a bad rep recently is because if your hands are not educated, it will take the club underplane. Well, it's pretty obvious isn't it -- if you just turn your shoulders, and hips without lifting your arms, then the club will go under plane, i.e. just go around the body.

Hey Tong!
Can you elaborate? I think a pivot oriented backswing and educated hands are kinda conflicting but I may be misinterpreting….

Sorry to seem like I am singling you out, I’m not! But…I don’t get it – if the hands do in fact control the pivot, doesn’t this negate your concern? Just curious.
