gmb,

Do you agree that your Downstroke sliding -- with no turn until post-Impact -- could be a problem?

I agree it is a problem, I don't even see a turn until very late, almost a fake turn to the finish. It appears like 7-14 is non existent in my swing.

I found this in 7-16 that may be useful for the issue

The proper amount of Knee Bend is determined at Impact Fix (7-8 ) by the distance the Hips must move to allow the Right Forearm to point at the selected Plane Line per 2-J-3 and 7-3. The amount of Bend will also determine the amount of Backstroke Turn and Down-stroke Slide The amount of Bend will also determine the amount of Backstroke Turn and Down-stroke Slide. The less Bend, the more the Pivot and Hip Slide will be restricted in both directions and the more upright the Plane tends to be.

If the straightened Knee is allowed to lock “beyond center” the subsequent unlocking is disruptive.
The rotated Knee should not sag into an extreme position. That weakens the strong in-line structure of the normal knee and ankle alignment.

When the Address or Fix Knee Bend of either Knee is maintained throughout the Stroke, it feels and acts like the Body has a solid anchor to the ground and therefore so designated. The “Anchor” designation still allows the Knees to rotate through the Sit-Down Position as the Strokes lengthen. So, seldom does Impact occur during the true Sit-Down Position.
