Hip Slide Is Axis Tilt
 

That's right, Bucket. The Axis (the Spine as the center for the circumference of the Shoulder Turn) tilts when the Hip Slides. On the Downstroke, you don't tilt it by leaning back. Instead, just 'bump' the Hips left while you keep your Head Stationary. Hip Slide is Weight Shift and Axis Tilt.

How much Slide? Listen to Ben Hogan in Five Lessons:

"There must be enough lateral motion to shift the weight to the Left Foot."

In other words...

Not much.

Hi Yoda,

I wondered if you could clarify a point of confusion for me. So for the swingers basic motion is the backstroke and downstroke an independent motion of the left arm, i.e driven by the physical effort of the left arm and not by the shoulders?

Also why do swingers apply extensor action through pp #3 and not pp #1 like hitters?

Cheers,

Danny

Any chance of some yoda down the line acquired motion vids or sequences

I don't have anything right now, Toolish, but I will do something on the next video. We need some Georgia sunshine and no wind. This latest cold front has kind of wrecked the LBG video biz! :)
