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.

Yes, I was being naughty -- you're right.

By definition, the Shoulder Turn Takeaway takes the Club Off Plane (underplane) in the Backstroke.

All comes back down to having a good Zone #1 (Pivot) first. And a lot of people don't have that.

And yes, if the Hands Control the Pivot, then everything is going to be alright. Also the Hands are not Educated until they control the Pivot.

So, theoretically, everything is hunky-dory.

But like I said, most amateurs have a dismal Zone #1. A good Pivot is so essential for good golf.

Therefore, using Pivot Controlled Hands as a transitional undertaking is good for the learning process.

But at the end of the day, it comes back down to the Hands and their Clubhead Lag, Plane Line Tracing, etc.

Sometimes in life you have to do what you don't want in order to get what you want!
