How exactly does the Pivot move the Hands without moving the shoulders?
I don't follow that. In the avitar. Hogan has turned the hips and tilted. The hips are now "square, the shoulders are back ~45 deg. from the hips and the hands (power package) are ~45 deg back from the shoulders.
The hands have dropped and the shoulders have moved down and are held back (7-13) to provide best support to the hands.
Nohing has released yet but the loading is now at the point Hogan shows in 5 lessons where the "muscle Man" is present.
Where do you think Hogans shoulders should be at this point?
Is that picture part of a swing sequence? If so, can you post the sequence?
Better than that:
All from Hogans "Five Lessons"
The Hogan swing sequence Pages 106-107
With hip/shoulder analysis Pages 122-123
The little "muscle guy" on Page 94
Plus 5 chapters of his personal analysis.
