Do this: Stand in a Doorway. Face the Hinges. Take your Left Foot and put your left Heal against the inside of the Door Jamb. Your Right Foot is inside the Room. Take your posture. Using your Right Leg, move your Right hip toward the door casing. Your Left Hip will hit the casing first. Keep pushing with your Right Leg. About 100 pounds of pressure so far and you haven't even added Hip Action yet!!! You better use a folded towel or you'll hurt your left hip. If you did this behind a 4,000 pound car, you can push it with just your hip and Right Leg.

Do you get how to do this drill? I might be able to explain it better.
I get it and I done it.... Greg McHatton does a similar drill where he uses his pivot to push against and move a heavy golf cart... no doubt that the body can do this and that you really become aware of your feet and planet earth when you do this...but in a golf swing this pivot power is used to overcome clubhead inertia at transition and not at impact...IMO.

You hit the ball with clubhead, clubhead attached to shaft, shaft moved as part of power package...what starts the power package in orbit? ...the pivot...we agree on this.

But can the pivot still spin the power package after accumulator 4 has started to release?? Sure , the pivot is still doing work... but is that work merely accomodating power package motion?

Once you release accumulator 2... can you muscle it more to release accumulator 2 harder?? If you do try , are you more likely to upset your alignments? I think that once an accumulator has been released....further muscle power is unadvisable. And what causes release of acc. 4? I think - in a pivot stroke - it is pivot motion.

In a pivot stroke, once you release accumulator 4.... can your pivot add more force? or is it just controlling direction?
