Thanks for your thoughtful replies. They are very helpful.

I understand that Delayed Hip Action with preturned Hips will assure Clearing of the Right Hip. But preturning the Hips is not mandatory for Delayed Hip Action, is it? Homer says "Turn the Hips a predetermined amount - or none at all - and then semi-lock them at that point before starting back with either the Shoulders or the Club." (Bold by me.)

I took the quote in my first post above to mean that Delayed Hip Action even without preturned Hips would assure Clearing of the Right Hip, whereas Standard Hip Action would not. Maybe that was not intended.

Whip - My quotes are from the 7th edition.

Q:Is pre turning of the hips mandatory for delayed hip action? A:No

Q:does delayed hip action even without pre turning the hips assure clearing of the right hip( in reference to the final sentence of 10-15-b as only stated in the 7th edition)?A: delayed hip action is the only variation that IS CAPABLE of assuring clearing of the right hip in both directions. Homer talks about how he cannot state every obvious implication. The only way to assure clearance is to pre turn the hip, if i am wrong please tell me if it is possible and explain how it would be possible to assure clearance of the right hip even without pre turning using delayed hip action.

Q:does standard hip action assure clearing of the right hip? A:No
