Two cheeks for sure and interesting given that Toms and Trevino are generally considered to be Thrusters.

But what do you see D?

I see all these guys releasing into the ball. Do you see the Hips still pulling the shoulders here? They're open for sure, they havent been overtaken by the Shoulders yet. But Id say their Sequence has long since passed the Hip firing , active turning, hip work period.

If Hip work is critical to power then how do we explain guys that can hit it 280 off their knees? Take away their Arms in some way and youd have placed a serious restriction on their power though I bet. Who would hit it further a guy off his knees or a guy on his feet but with his arms strapped to his body? Homer had Zone 2 as Power right?

What are we supposed to be talking about again? Oh yah, how far ahead do the Hips need to be? Must they be? Why? What do those things do anyways? Im thinking that they provide the initial spin to the flywheel.

Me personally Ive got a lazy set of Hips. Lynn thinks its residual from my hockey slap shot, which makes a ton of sense to me. He kind of blew me away with that insight actually. You cant spin the hips when taking a slap shot , your loaded edges wont allow it, its all shoulders and arms , hitting across your body. And interestingly often accompanied with a Greg Norman like backward right foot drag.
