the question I have is would you classify that as a hand controlled pivot or pivot controlled hand

been watching and reading some clips and threads --- BY THE WAY --- great website -- I have been throughly impressed!!!!!!

Seems like a hand controlled pivot might be only --- the hand moving first then the body moving --- Thanks in Advance
The difference is in what you are monitoring, not what is powering the motion or moving first per se. Hands control, regardless of what is moving them, is an awareness of the hands, pivot control is monitoring the pivot, at the exteme, monitoring the feet. Throwing a baseball is a great example of hands control. Tossing a 50 pound sack into a pickup is a good example of pivot control.
