6bmike has an interesting post saying that the Hit pivot and
the Swing pivot are different. "My Hit pivot is as short as
my backswing, quickly to the left leg - short and sweet.
Short quick pivot - slow accelerating arms and hands."
"My Swing pivot is as long as my backswing, taking time to
unwind to let the right shoulder - crank -a long and lazy
pivot. Long pivot-rapid from the start hands and arms."

V.J.s obversations comply with the Swing Pivot where the hip
turn to the right and the lower body shift left must be co-oridinated on the backswing.

On the downswing, with Hogan set up on the left leg pivot, Hogan
said that you could not move the hips to fast. Does not sound long
and lazy. 6bmike, does this mean that you do not buy into the intiial
move that V.J. observes?

Mr. Hole-In-Da-Iron-Face,

I was waiting for you to chime in here being an authority on The Hawk. Mr. Kelley said that "Hogan was the model for Instant Hip Acceleration." I'd say based on VJ's description of Hogan's pivot . . . the two are in lock step. Hogan created his Axis Tilt on the BACKSTROKE. I think VJ did a nice job on the book.
