[12 piece bucket]

I learned a whole lot hanging out with you on this thread this afternooon. I went back and took another look at Ted Fort's downswing waggle. What I had previously thought was a parallel hip move, actually was a parallel hip move starting from a hip position that was pointing cross line because the hips had turned in that direction on the backswing. I had previously tried to have my hips move in a crossline direction and failed to figure out how to do that properly. Now I understand from watching Ted that the way to do that is to allow my hips to turn sufficiently on the backswing to get one lined up in the right direction for your forward crossline hip slide. You help had put another piece of the puzzle in place, which I think is an important step forward for me. Thank you so much for repeatedly pointing me in the right direction and backing up your points with educational quotations from "HK's good book".

No problem boss . . . it's ALL in that book! Just sometimes hard to find.

You are right too . . . you must put yourself in a position at the top comply with your delivery line and lag loading procedure.
