Hi Kevin,
Here's another Great One.
From "Homers Notes" (Vikram). I can't speak for the notes. They were transcribed by Chuck from recorded audio which included information for the 7th Edition revisions. I didn't record them and I don't know the context.

Hip Action - The hip action turns the shoulders in various combination's. But leading the backstroke with hip action is Pivot controlled Hands. Hip action is work and must be controlled.

Hip Motion is not work. I suppose that if your Hip Turn doesn't disturb the Hands relationship with the Plane Line.
Pivot controlled hands occurs when the #3 pressure point senses and maintains a relationship to the Pivoting Body. The Hands go along for the ride.
