[Weightshift]

You have referenced 6-H-0, the stated "curriculum" for Educated Hands (Hitting and Swinging). By definition, there are no Pivot Components listed. In fact, in earlier editions of TGM, 6-H-0 was specifically described as "Hand Action Imperatives" instead of the Educated Hands "curriculum" approach later adopted. Those early editions (through the third) gave three Hand Imperatives (not to be confused with the Three Imperatives later designated in 2-0). Those three Hand Imperatives were listed as three "Avoids": Slowing the Hands (Quitting); Swinging from the wrist; and unintentional change in Lag Pressure. When the curriculum was expanded in the fourth edition, the three 'avoids' became Items A, D and C respectively, and a new Snap Release item was added as 'B'. Also, the curriculum now differentiated between Hitting and Swinging (originally six items and later, in the fifth edition, ten) as dictated by the selected Lag Loading procedure.

In Pivot Strokes, the Re-Tracing Hands are powered by the Pivot. This is the Centrifugal Downstroke Sequence of 6-M-1; the Pivot Stroke Delivery of 6-K-0; and the Body Power of 2-M-4. There can be no Re-Tracing in the Downstroke until the Left Arm moves, and the Left Arm -- #4 Accumulator Radius Power -- is driven by Right Shoulder Turn Thrust (6-B-4-A).

The Start Down is the period of Shoulder Acceleration (8-7) as led by the Hips (7-15) and their "Instant" Acceleration (10-19-C). The Downstroke is the period of Hand Acceleration (8-8 ).

The Weight Shift is the Hip Turn (7-14). Specifically, its Slide Component.

You have to understand where I'm coming from. I'm not starting from scratch but slowly amending by swing with TGM concepts. For me, there has always been two pivots in the golf swing bridged by the weight shift. In earlier times I had a terrible time with balance and it was not until I allowed both pivots to be largely passive and supportive of the golf swing, was I able to play a reasonable game. Hopefully, in time I will be more in tune with more of TGM, although as helpful as these forums are, I really need some one-on-one sessions with a TGM AI.
