[Andy R]

From the Third Edition:

A Sharp Backstoke Turn, a Downstroke Hip Slide only (before the Arm Motion begins) encourages "On Plane" Pivot alignments. So it's -- Turn, Slide, Swing.

Thanks, Yoda!

Forgive me if I'm being a bit thick here , the weight shifts parallel to the target line, right? Put another way, if ones center of gravity were drawing a line during the Slide, that line would be parallel to the target line?
