Nice one Daryl

You dont need much but you do need some pivot.

For all but the non pivot strokes, there must be pivot lag swinging or hitting. I think a lot of guys trying out hitting for the first time have some residual swinging components like a fast turn in start down etc but then dial it down a little which is great, then dial it down a lot which is also good if they dont run out of right arm and then they turn it right off......which is a running out of right arm, throwaway disaster in the making.

There is still a pivot when hitting (though it might feel otherwise when coming from swinging). It leads in transition, bottom up, loading the lag pressure point (on the aft of the shaft, if you stop at top) taking up the slack in the left arm, loading the right elbow (as opposed to the swingers left hand wrist cock deal, pretty though it is. I still look at the photos)

But all of this is a lot of thinking for the Primal hitter brain who is normally just "me compress ball straight", "me find ball and compress straight again", "me need go bathroom" etc . There is a hitter's high I believe associated with the pressure points and compression, a dopamine release. Golf should be pleasurable after all.

Me go hit balls now.
