Hi Jack

Thanks for getting back to me.

I believe that the lower half including feet, hips and weight transfer is the basis for a powerful swing to begin for without a good base the rotation above the base is limited. The mechanics of the lower half determines the ability and efficiency of keeping your hands back.

Question

If this is the case then is not the beginning of the swing (I see the swing as starting with any movements either forward/backward or rotational) when the lower half is leading the swing as important as what happens to the hands afterward?
