What are the fundamental alignments of a good Pivot?

[DennyAlberts]

Do you want all the spine shifts and axis tilts for arc and angle of approach and the relationship of the arms to the body ? Rotated or Flat shoulder turn ?
Swinging or Hitting.
How low or high of a shot ? Hook Slice? Or just
"a free turn in both directions"

How about lets start with STANCE and go from there. Alignments?

I want to hit one of those hook slice things!

Around the trees to the left, around the trees to the right, ON THE GREEN!

That's what I'm talking about . . . deep end of the pool.

Let's go Big'Un!!!

Pick one and let's start hammering and welding it together.

Cast the first line in the pond and I'll put some pictures on the hook if I can find some good ones to support you.

Mark! Set! Go!

Denny Alberts, PGA, GSEB and LBG Professional Contributor http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/cmps_index.php?page=pros is an accomplished teaching professional with tens of thousands of 'real time' lessons under his belt. His day starts at dawn and ends after dark.

Denny tells it as it is. No 'sugar coat'. If he says it, he believes it. And if it's about golf, his beliefs are grounded in 'the dirt'. So listen up.

Regretfully for those on this site, he is not an accomplished typist, and each post is a 'hunt and pecked' labor of love. Hence, his limited participation over these past three years.



Thanks for all you do, Denny. We appreciate you, the work you do and your support and contribtions to this site.

You nailed me. Actually my daughter (that's me) is typing this message at the moment: "My dad types at four words per minute - I'm getting paid four bucks a minute to type this, but then he knows it won't take me thirty seconds.

He DOES work twelve hours a day, but golf IS his life in a way few other people have devoted themselves to a passion - and if it wasn't for this website, he'd never even peck at a keyboard.

He says he's learned a great deal from George Kelnhofer, Chuck Evans, Lynn Blake, Mac O'Grady, and Homer Kelley - as well as from other contributors on these sites. And he is dedicated to always becoming a better teacher. He thanks you, Lynn, for your kind words and for keeping Homer's teachings alive."

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.

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.

Many more moving Parts in Zone #1.
