[O.B.Left]

I was actually born in Dixie, in the province of Virginia. Dad was working down there for a bit. I told Lynn that once and he was like "Virginia? Thats just about as north as you can get and still be in Dixie".

Elvis' American Trilogy gets me all teary eye'd to this day. Seriously.


This might be a good time to discuss Homer's impact being "comparatively squared away". Surely he saw Hogan's two cheeks in photographs. Phil Mick and Greg Norman dont two cheek it. It can be a sign of Thrusting for some folks or a rate of overtaking thing for a swinger Id imagine.

I think you should spin the Hips and then let em coast. So they do some initial work some pulling and then they subside into mere motion prior to the Shoulders overtaking them. Consider for a moment the 6-m-1 "Downstroke Sequence". There is no mention of degree of leading , Hips vs Shoulders. Only that they lead. It wouldnt be labelled a "Sequence" if the Hips were meant to keep working, pulling forever Im thinking. Homer talked about the Swinger "spinning the fly wheel". Having spun a fly wheel recently , its a spin it and let er go thing, not a continuous spinning. How 'bout Hogans' "quick initial hip acceleration"? Homer said it took his Hands from End to Top. Note he said "initial" as opposed to constant or continuous or something.

Some folks advocate a second firing of the Hips. Kinda weird and not flywheel like. Some advocate Pivot braking , less weird to my mind, but not a flywheel thing either.


How do baseball pitchers turn? Do they plant their lead foot , and then turn their whole body or do they spin their hips?

Why did Homer say "comparatively squared away"? Not that I dont like it or anything, being comparatively squared away at impact, myself
