[O.B.Left]

Man thats good stuff O.B. ! I hate to sound like a broken record, but I see a lot of the Trolio pivot in that swing!

Me too. Trolio studied Hogans Pivot, Knudson studied with Hogan and Homer studied Hogan way way back, so its not a stretch to say they both have what we here would describe as Homer's Hip Slide with a Delayed Turn. A Cleared Right Hip going back and then Cleared again going down via a Hip Slide (its in there twice after all in 12-3-0 points 13 and 24 and I think they are slightly different "clears" maybe, please discuss if you disagree).

What Im noodling these days is whether this second "clear" via the Slide, assuming that is correct, allows the 6-M-1 Downstroke Sequence, feet up, without any Roundhousing? As if the Right Hip is back far enough and slid far enough towards the target that you can 6-M-1 and not get stuck? If you know what I mean.

I also see Knudson taking that Hogan right foot drag to a new extreme. In his later years George was dragging the right foot about a foot or so! I love that move. Hogan did it, Knudson taught it...... to his students up here in T.O. Its not unusual to see some old guys playing up here with that move. A tell tail sign of some time on the range with George. I dont think Hogan ever talked about it, perhaps its another one of his secrets. George sure talked about it. Preached it in fact.
