True dodger , true. Swinging to first base could help a guy who tends to cut across it to get his delivery line aligned to a square plane line. Opposites or whatever. Thats the way they used to teach golf when I was a kid. Got a slice? Here's a hook swing, kid.

But and this is a big but to my mind....without knowing the true underlying geometry you will be forever going back and forth between too much and too little of whatever your compensating move is. Why not just know the correct geometry and in the face of the common cut across path, keep THRUSTING OUT until the clubhead blur is consistent with a straight line plane line?

To my mind this is one of Homer's best messages to the hacker on the tee. But I fear sometimes the message gets lost in.... the details or whatever.

And for the record Ive goofed with T.T.'s forget the pivot just throw the arms thing ...........I'd never say its all wrong. In fact , Ive got some video of guys chopping down trees with axes, pro loggers and those guys have pivots Id kill for. With probably zero thought to having one, those guys are just throwing their arms and axe at the tree. But with Moe Norman like Pivots. I dunno.
