[12 piece bucket]

B. Components:

One way to analyze the pivot summarizes the component parts as:

Feet
Hips
Shoulders
Power package
Club

Of course there is soft tissue and other variables in between these points but these in particular seem to be a good starting point.

C. An efficient pivot occurs indeed from the groud up, with a kinetic link sequence of the segments listed in B above beginning with the ground and ending in the club compressing the ball through the impact interval.

I am still not sure how you are going to tie this to alignment, though, Buck.

ALIGNMENT - The process of adjusting parts so that they are in proper relative position

You take the pieces you defined and talk to me about the alignments you see . . .
