It makes perfect sense HB.

But the Hands can sense two different Alignment Forces. One, is the Bodies Rotational Alignment Force (Thrust). If you take a simple backstroke and then rotate on the Downstroke, your hands can sense the bodies rotation. This is Pivot Controlled Hands. The Bodies Rotation is moving your hands on the Path of Pivot Rotation and the Arms and Hands must manipulate to get the Clubhead to the Ball and hit it straight.

The other Alignment Force that the Hands can sense is the On Plane Alignment to the Ball or Aiming Point or Plane Line or Delivery Line. To Direct the Force along this Alignment, the Pivot Thrust must Comply and not move the Hands from this Alignment Path. This is the essence of Hands Controlled Pivot. The Hands are dictating Pivot Mechanics (Thrust and Alignment). Everyone does this to some degree otherwise with an unruly pivot, one would always miss the ball. Homer Kelley said that manipulating the Hands and Arms to get the Clubhead to the Ball is "Hacking". But Changing the Pivot to comply is G.O.L.F.

Homer Kelley stated (in the book somewhere) that once you learn and apply the Hands Controlled Pivot Procedure, it once again "feels" like a Pivot Controlled Hands Procedure (I paraphrased - see the quote below).

6-G-0 HAND MOTION All motion is focused on driving the Hands – NOT THE CLUB – toward the BALL. This may, with habit, seem to become reversed. But this is where and how a player’s game “comes apart.” And the cure is to return to the original primary concern – the Hands and their Clubhead Lag, Flat Left Wrist, and Plane Line (2-0). Educated Hands can compensate for Off Line Hip and Shoulder Motion but only up to a point. Off Plane Clubhead Throwaway is even a very prevalent Putting and Chipping fault. It amounts to an unintentional Plane Line Shift and causes the direction control to become vague. See 2-J-3. So – learn to hit the ball with Hand manipulation rather than with Clubhead manipulation and your game is less likely to keep falling apart (4-D, 5-0). ((Bold underline by Daryl)

The Pivot Drill above, is a Pivot Controlled Hands Procedure because it completely ignores the #3 Pressure Point Aiming. That's OK. Use the Drill to learn a Pivot that works well for your body, then tweak it during Practice so that it doesn't interfere, but rather supports, the "Prime Directive".
