Taking into account Tri-Pod Center and this discussion of "creating power by driving the hips, legs, etc....." I really don't mind the concept that is being taught by allowing the head to move off the ball, however, if the head moves enough to allow the left shoulder to be disrupted from low point then a player must "drive the hips, legs, etc...." to get the left shoulder back to where it should be.

With that being said, the whole foundation of two different motions in the pivot can be seen. One with the flat left wrist-one with the arched left wrist. Different knee action, foot action, hip action, and a vast majority of other distinct differences.

So the question is, was the message of Tri-Pod Center lost because of a generation of instructors that did not understand it until Lynn brought it back out some 3-5 years ago. I am not trying to give Lynn all the credit, I just never heard of this concept until I got to him via multiple TGM instructors. Even me, with a Masters in Golf Stroke Engineering never heard the phrase "Tripod pivot center" until Lynn.

So, if not Tri-Pod center then an entire train of different pivot components must jump in there to save impact. The pattern is in the book, just as tri-pod center is.......but what do the best motions in the world look like? Very steady with few moving parts in the pivot or moving off the ball with more moving parts in the pivot?
