It's good to have you back Daryl,

We have been missing you.

Is his Pivot supporting Delivery Alignments? Is his Pivot helping the #3 Pressure Point Trace the Plane Line?

Power comes from the Accumulators and not from flinging the Hips forward and toward the target like Elvis Presley in Jail House Rock. If a student starts acting like Elvis, then V.J. gives them the dowel drill to thwart other bad habits before they start creeping into the swing.
Furyk's move is all about accumulator #4 and PP#4. The master accumulator. And saving some shoulder vs hip lag for impact. Well, it also provides very good working conditions for the other pressure points as well. Because everything is so much better connected at impact.

Turning the hips here as Jim Furyk is doing helps to preserve pp#4 pressure and save a lot of Accumulator #4 power to impact.

It also provides a post from where it is possible to keep turning hard thorough the ball. And thrusting. And pulling. From a pivot with all the right tensions in place.

I know because I've been doing it for years. I have now experimented with a more typical TGM impact alignment for half a year. Swing speed is basically the same but I get a lot more lag pressure through impact when I do something similar to Furyk. I get more from all accumulators through the ball this way. The strong hip turn is also a good throwaway & flipping insurance.

All golfers are stronger before the hands pass their right hip than after - if they have the footwork to make it happen. The later it happens the longer they can use their strength.
