Please explain what you mean by, the "hip" tilts in the above clip? I know this is minutia but, the "hip" is a bone, part of the pelvis. Are you saying the pelvis tilts on rear side, or towards the rear side?
Or are you saying there is more tension on the muscles and ligaments around the femoral head that rests in acetabulum(hip socket).

The lead arm directs where the barrel(depth and direction) is going to be released. The body responds...

Cannot swing out from using the lead arm. Only can sweep.

A 'sweep' is caused by inappropriate usage of the core .... bypassing the 'short-to' and the inspiration for the lead arm to be a swinger. The lead arm is very much a part of a good swing ... inclusive of the 'out from'.

Lead forearm pronates. Lead elbow juts. Lead arm pull is a sweep unless you are advocating a lead arm elbow led pull.

Noone is Advocating unsupported lead arm anything. The swing plane follows the lead arm,or at least it should. If the body stalls or over rotates then of course the arms would pull of push.

I haven't seen anything from Noon that he supports that.

Ok so I've been around for a long time and getting too long in the tooth. This conversation was once held on Mankin's site and I think there was a few comments by Tom Guerry on the subject that was pretty good back in the day. I don't know if you guys want to try to look some of that up. It had to do with Epstein, weathervaning, shoulders matching planes making barrels match planes etc. At least, that is what I remember. As for the date of that discussion, I would be clueless on that one. lol
