There's nothing wrong with this. Pg 74, When the hips are turned back to the left, this tightens the muscles between the hips and the shoulders just a notch more-something like the way a fellow gives each lug that little extra tightening twist when he's changing a tire. Maximum tension in the muscles betwee the hips and the shoulders produces maximum speed. Jeff, I love your pictures. Thanks for putting them up. If you get a chance, look a frame No. 3 on page 41 of the Final Missing Piece. It shows that Hogan had moved the center of Mass to the left leg before starting down. dkerby View Public Profile Send a private message to dkerby Find all posts by dkerby
