Telling someone to coordinate arm swing and pivot? What do you teach them with Zero Pivot? What swings the arms?

Do you understand that it's gibberish? Ok. Pivot right to left at 8 MPH, then swing your arms at 40 mph and coordinate them so that the clubhead arrives to the ball at 110 mph with a square clubface with a down, out and forward path. Lesson over. Pay me $1000.00
I took what Bucket said as what he would teach an average player rather than how he would instruct them to do it. The shoulders move the arms, but no shot requires zero pivot.

I would want a student to keep his arms more tied into his body as illustrated in Five Lessons the Modern Fundamentals of Golf p. 82-83.

I wouldn't simply rely on a verbal discussion of what should be done, rather, I would demonstrate and make alterations as necessary to the student's technique.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
