Yes agreed the direction of thrust is different when throwing a ball but cut me some slack I never suggested the direction of thrust when chipping should be towards the hole. In fact I made specific mention of the aiming point procedure.
Don't discount what Homer himself described "an underhand pitch motion" . See Geometry of the Circle 2-N-0 page 40 in the 7th. To my mind he is referring to what might be best described as a side armed throwing motion given any right elbow fanning and bending... a leading elbow .
The elbow leads, the front hip slides, the triceps fire into the inner aft quadrant. I am sighting the face of the club-head at impact in my elbow led waggles-very comforting knowing that ball will not go left unless I want it to.
I've picked up 20 yards with the driver and 10 on all the clubs with real ball control. Besides 4 barrel switting, and new clubs, is there another insight that will allow me to focus more power into the shot?
When a switter Pivots, how do they avoid spinning over the top before driving the shoulder?

Hands to Pivot.
When you threw a ball did your pivot get in the way? Did you spin out? Did you have your mind in your pivot? (No). Did you pivot ? (Yes). Was it the perfect amount of pivot? (probably).
In regard to MacDonald drills .... when hitting a ball , after training you can get left , left hip over left foot simply by loading the left foot. To stay stuck in the "mind in the hip slide stage" is to probably slide to little , too much , not at all randomly. Just load the foot... you know like when we walk. Left , right , left ... loading. The left hip will find a spot directly above the left foot automatically. No need to think about how far to slide , whether to slide with a right side push off or a left side pull , just load the foot! Crush the can as some call it. No need to understand which muscles are in play. It might be the Hips that do it but just load the dang foot.
Load the left foot and throw the right arm (actively or passively) .... and you will pivot. Its hard not to.
