Thanks a lot for the response Lynn.

.....the hips react to the turning of the shoulders.

Delayed Hip Action (10-15-B)- the amount of hip turn you have depends on (and is proportional to) however long your stroke is (and hence, however much you turn your shoulders)....i.e. there is no consious turning of the hips during the backswing as in a Standard Hip Action (10-15-A) swing (as in a swing like Bobby Jones??).

Got it.

SO X-Factor would then be Delayed PIVOT (10-12-C)?

Further, I advocate a Backstroke wherein the Right Shoulder always Turns back to the Plane. That alignment automatically dictates the amount of Right Shoulder Turn. The Flatter the Plane Angle, the more Turn required. Conversely, the more Upright the Plane, the less required.

Was this excerpt supposed to read: "That alignment automatically dictates the amount of right HIP turn"??? By chance? I just want to make sure.
