It will not result in a Sway (4th Snare / 3-F-7-D). In fact, it is exactly this 'Hula Hula' flexibility that produces the Axis (Spine) Tilt (7-14) necessary for the Line Delivery Paths (10-23-A/B/C/D) and ultimately the Automatic and Snap Releases of 10-24.
There is a little sentence that can have a whole lifetime of learning behind it. I know my 'Hula Hula' is missing a "Hula" and from what I have observed at the driving range the "Hula Hula" I've watched is not very pretty. Yoda, any words of wisdom about how to add a second "Hula" to my "Hula"? I feel that as the club is decending, my hip is moving towards the target I never get time to move my forward hip towards the rear. If I do it too soon then the face opens and my slice shows up.
The Hula Hula flexibility (7-14) refers to the independent yet coordinatemovement of the Hips and Shoulders while maintaining the Fixed Pivot Center (the recommended Stationary Head or its alternate, the "Between theShoulders" Center). The Line Delivery Paths and the On Plane DownstrokeShoulder Turn (10-13-D) require that the Axis of the Stroke (the Spine) betilted, and this, in turn, requires the Downstroke Hip Slide (Weight Shift) of10-14-A or 10-14-B. This is a move that is very easy to exaggerate (7-14) andthus produce the distorted alignments that makes it impossible for the Hands todo their job (7-12).
Ideally, you would work with a competent instructor to program the correctPivot. Whether this is possible or not, I recommend imitating the pictures in9-1. Be sure to look, Look LOOK as you go through the 'Body Only' TwelveSections of the Stroke to make sure that you are doing it right.
Concentrate especially on clearing the Right Hip in Start Up (9-4) andmaintaining the On Plane Right Shoulder in Start Down (9-7). These twoSections are especially crucial because players who have Pivot problems almostalways lack the Educated Hands necessary to get them through an On LineStart Down (3-B, 5-0, 6-G-0 and 12-3-0). I would also practice diligently the DownstrokeWaggle(3-F-5). Monitor each of the Pivot Components (especially the Hips andShoulders) in each of the Downstroke Sections (Start Down through theFollow-Through) as you simultaneously monitor The Hands to insure that theymaintain their On Plane alignments per the Mechanical Checklist of 12-3-0. Thiswill train the Pivot to accomplish its necessary functions and, at the sametime, to "get out of the way of the Hands."
At the end of the day, you must return your attention to your Hands and theirFlat Left Wrist, Clubhead Lag and Plane Line Tracing. Only in his way can youmaintain the essential geometry of the Stroke (2-N-0 and 2-F) and achieve theHand-Controlled Pivot of The Golfing Machine.
