You will have next to zero #4 accumulator...

Question: Isnt is this what a "hitter" will tend toward, when one thinks of driving PP--heel of hand at the aim point

Have noticed inconsistent application of power, and feel that when one drives PP#1 down/out and foward------you loose benefit of accum#4 as a natural cause of just starting down and driving PP#1.

Seems more noticable when I get "quick" at the top, or take it back past my "end" of swing...........

but in summary--------just seems that a "hitter" will drift toward this problem, with a wide varience in distance from a partic. club
from swing to swing

Possibly, if they don't do a proper hip slide.

Once you get to the top in hitting you are suppose to crank that left hip to take out all the slack and it loads #4 even more. Then as long as you drive the right shoulder downplane #4 will stay put.

So if you don't crank the hip via hipslide or you throw the right shoulder off plane, then yes i can see how you'd lose some #4.

Regardless of Hit or Swing....the PIVOT starts the downswing.
