The Basic Motion

In all videos of players performing Basic Motion with a Swinging procedure I notice the players "turn their hips to the target" to some extent post impact (or even before). I am not sure if the motion I see is actually a Hip Turn as defined by TGM.

Also, their seems to be some "turning of the shoulders" towards the target post impact (in Basic Motion with a Swinging procedure). Does this still comply with the Zero Shoulder Turn requirement - because it occurs after impact?
The Basic Motion as strictly defined in 12-5-1 is a very small Stroke involving zero body action (including Shoulder Turn). Here I am using a Hitting procedure to demonstrate such a Stroke. http://lynnblakegolf.com/index.php/G...24864054983329 Even so, there is a minimal Shoulder movement, even though the driving Right Arm is the sole source of Power.

The Basic Motion I demonstrated to Collin Neeman (see the first video in that Series) is a larger Motion than this. As is the Basic Motion I demonstrate on my Golf Channel Instructor Search Video. These Motions involve all Three Zones (Body, Arms and Hands). In essence they are the Short Strokes of 12-0 wherein the essential Geometry and Total Motion of the Full Strokes is not changed, but is only "miniaturized".

The essence of the 'basic golf motion' I teach may be found in the MacDonald Exercises (#5 and #6) with a coordinated motion of the Pivot, reduced Arm Swing and zero Wristcock. http://lynnblakegolf.com/index.php/G...20861548192705
