The Slide is parallel to the Plane Line (which normally is also the Target Line, but not always, e.g., Open and Closed Plane Lines). Now, here's the really important part:

The Slide is accomplished while the Right Hip remains Turned. So, it is a Slide (parallel to the Plane Line) with a delayed Turn.

Also, monitor your Foot and Knee Action during the Downstroke. These Components support the Hip Motion and help maintain Balance and a Stationary Head. In other words, no 'saggy-baggy' knees, aka "leg drive" (ugh!) and no exaggerated twisting of the Feet. All this contributes to an On Plane and Centered Arc, the Holy Grail of Golfing Consistency. Study 1-L-#1, #2, #5 and #6.

In regard to a swingers delayed hip turn in startdown, do the hips ever get actively spun? Or do they just react as the hands would dictate or as the power package overtakes the pivot? The person throwing a baseball turns his hips but not actively for instance, it just sort of happens. Hand to pivot throw. As opposed to the very popular golfers early hip spin in transition, mostly before the weight gets left.

I am currently having great success just sliding with a delayed turn and thats about it. Maybe a little left leg straightening to ward off my saggy left knee tendancy. No active hip spinning, delayed or otherwise anymore. They do turn towards the target but not by me actively anyways. Everything looks the same or better even, not a hip stall or anything, dont want to hurt myself. More balance, no spinning out on the left foot.
