In reality, the only parts of the, so called, "hips" that move are where the head of each Femur is located in the socket at the base of the pelvic girdle. Movement of those parts does not, in itself, cause any movement of the arms per se - it merely alters the structure, by Axis Tilt, of the entire assembly: this being a necessary pre-cursor to, not a cause of, the arms swinging the club down, out and through impact. __________________ IB "My only handicap is me!!!"
