>>> i'm trying to visualize a swing where you open the hips & yet do not open the shoulders...i have never heard that taught and to me it's almost a physical impossibility to do so....and in answer to your trick question...you won't get me this time since i now understand the point of the question...the answer is FALSE!!!!<<<

Hi grc

Are you saying that all the coaches you know teach opening the shoulders as they initiate the swing? That no coaches teach "keep your shoulder in there" as the hands (and hips)are accelerated? --- This site has received many, many posts suggesting just that.

The answer to the "question" is TRUE.
