Guys, please don't get me wrong. It's feel from mechanics...

This is the model I am trying to get to:

I am working to get to these alignments and will use feels from anyone that will get me there. We all have our issues, besides my elbow, I have arthritis in my back and shoulders. When I "feel" a flat shoulder turn on the backstroke, my left shoulder is actually staying higher than my right! If I "feel" a rotated shoulder turn, I look just like YODA. When I "feel" as though I am staying centered, my upper center moves way back over my right foot, making me look like a refuge from the brand X camp, we don't want that! I need to feel a little tilting left to look like YODA in my model.

If we could all spend time in Cuscawillo, we wouldn't need to look at other stuff, but left to our own inadequacies... Someday when my ship comes in I will get there and be able to do away with other compensations!

City, you mentioned you want to get there faster... it doesn't happen. Keep studying here. you know the guys you need to pay attention to, and they are all here. Keep watching video of great swings. Find what they have in common in YOUR minds eye. Find what works for you, that's how our friend Jerry has improved so much. He uses YODA as a model as well. Study and dig it out of the dirt your way!

BTW, right now one of the biggest riddles I think I've solved is YODA's left knee action. The pouncing cat. I think the text came from our buddy 12 Piece Bucket.

By sliding the hips with a bent left knee that moves outside of the foot you can apply pressure to the ground. This puts you in a position to stand up and is a huge source of power. More forward and bent the left knee the more you can use the ground to jump.
I think there's a lot of extension (standing up) going on here and a lot of downward pressure on the left foot. Very gracefully applied mind you.
Word of warning to everyone that is going to head out today and start jumping...
To stay in your inclination when standing up you must create enough axis tilt through sliding the hips toward target to match the amount you stand up. The OP had this already, if you don't... get your humping gear on.
