DG,

That's is what I am feeling now (what you mentioned, whatever goes up, come down first, I am using the right forearm takeaway and as a hitter, coming down, I don't feel any noticeable hip slide to the right, or axis tilt. So my question is in related thread in Brian, Chuck or this forum, it has been mentioned that the first move down is the hip; and remove the slack by moving the hip, no shoulder move etc.. This is in contradiction on your comment for hitter using delated hip action.
