Ben Doyle had me stand behind him and put two hands on his scapula. The shoulder motion is constant. What ever the feeling is in an illusion. Now the hips are another matter.

I been experimenting with using the hips more for balance and stability, less as a primary activator of the swing. The less conscious I am of the weight shift and just"allow it to happen" the better quailty of my ball striking.

The shoulder seem to be a different matter though, I been more conscious of my scapula as a power source to assist ball and socket motion of the humerus. Why would Ben want the scapula to remain still? I think scapular retraction and protraction is important part of the shoulder motion.
