If you developed a good solid takeaway procedure with R/forearm,guess what,the pivot will come along without you trying and will only do what your plane will allow it to do.
In essence,forget pivot,and hands to a certain degree as they will follow the forearm takeaway,as a matter of interest are you fanning on the takeaway.

brownman,

You are absolutely correct, I'm trying to do too much too fast, along with not working with an instructor who understands Mr. Kelley's work. Like many others I see, I am so excited about this new world of G.O.L.F. that I am going many directions at once.

I spent the day yesterday working on hand path. I was working hard at making sure the right forearm was taking the club back, in, and up, with emphasis of getting the in properly.

Funny, I found just what you are saying, the pivot started taking care of itself when the magic of the right forearm kept the club on plane, rather than covering the target line, huge difference. I did some drills with P and Bs system of setting clubs on the hand path, combined with Ted Fort's visualization of the clubhead delivery path. These ideas are in Ted's address video. Just as you say, the pivot started taking care of itself. Fanning MUST be done to get the club in and on plane. I was missing that at first, and it is HUGE.

On one hand all the information at once is slowing my progress as a player, but I am learning so any new ways to help my students. I need to start working with a teacher on my own swing to help insure I am working on what really matters.

Thanks my friend for the great advise!

Kevin
