Not sure about all that but a point of interested would be the two pictures of the wood chopper you got in there . . . notice what the dude's body is doing . . . . lots of similarities but we do it on a different plane . . . inclined vs. vertical . . . the pivot ain't all about turning . . . .

yes there are similarities with those motions of the vertical line of muscular effort on a vertical plane and inclined plane but im not trying to point out the similarities of those two similar pulling motions on different planes. for this motion it is not a similarity to the chopping wood it IS that motion its a VERTICAl plane of motion NOT an inclined plane, it becomes inclined because the pivot imparts the aroundward motion and the arms impart a vertical motion, when synched up properly it becomes inclined. this is a different plane of swinging, you are not pulling along an inclined plane you are pulling and raising on a definite vertical only plane, single left wrist action while simultaneously the pivot is imparting a horizontal-ish plane or at least a very flat inclined plane, put two completely different motions together and you get what i see as a 'body swivel'. this might be the only motion where bobbing might actually be a power move
theres a few ways to execute this motion.... the second of which is pretty unorthodox looking
1)a.from the address position startup by simply raising your arms and cocking your wrists vertically until your wrists are fully cocked and the biceps have lifted just above the shoulders while simultaneously and in synch, pivot your hips, shoulders, and knees relatively flat and centered until your back is facing the target/ shoulders rotated 90 degrees. end is reached approximately when shoulders reach 90 degrees and arms reach just above shoulder height
b.from this position simply pull straight downwards, a vertical line of muscular effort, almost like your trying to pull the butt of the club straight down into your pelvis, while executing this motion pivot back toward the target with equal force horizontally that your pulling down with vertically. its as if you pressed rewind, starting down right back down the way you started up
c.once you reach impact raise the arms with the same force you pulled them down vertically with from start down and continue to pivot flattish and centered , you will have a 'high' end and a'high' finish
2) a.from the address position without pivoting, simply raise your arms and cock your wrists vertically until your wrists are fully cocked and the biceps have lifted just above the shoulders
b. then with your arms raised, pivot your hips, shoulders, and knees relatively flat and centered until your back is facing the target/ shoulders rotated 90 degrees
c. from this position simply pull straight downwards, a vertical line of muscular effort, almost like your trying to pull the butt of the club straight down into your pelvis, while executing this motion pivot back toward the target with equal force horizontally that your pulling down with vertically
d. once you reach impact raise the arms with the same force you pulled them down vertically with from start down and continue to pivot flattish and centered , you will have a 'high' end and a'high' finish
3)a.from the address position without raising the arms or cocking the wrists, pivot your hips, shoulders, and knees relatively flat and centered until your back is facing the target/ shoulders rotated 90 degrees
b. from this position simply raise your arms and cock your wrists vertically until your wrists are fully cocked and the biceps have lifted just above the shoulders
c. from this position simply pull straight downwards, a vertical line of muscular effort, almost like your trying to pull the butt of the club straight down into your pelvis, while executing this motion, pivot back toward the target with equal force horizontally that your pulling down with vertically.
d. once you reach impact raise the arms with the same force you pulled them down vertically with from start down and continue to pivot flattish and centered , you will have a 'high' end and a'high' finish
at all times during the motion you maintain a bending backwards feeling of the spine
