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.
Thanks OB!
