The pictures with Slide Hip Turn(10-14-B)... LOOK like what many would call a Reverse, but it must be useful, if done corrrectly. I think C. Montgomery probably uses this, and very well.
Now... 10-14-D is actually called a Reverse Hip Turn. Do any of you employ this in short shots?

Lagster,
The photos referenced illustrate the Slide Hip Turn (10-14-B) of the first five editions -- that is, Slide with no appreciable Turn.
Photos 10-14-B #1 and #2 do an admirable job of illustrating this Component as described.
Then, with the publication of the 6th edition, Homer Kelley dropped a bombshell:
The definition of 10-14-B changed to Slide with a Delayed Turn.
Unfortunately...
There was no change in the illustrations.
And now, in the post-humous 7th edition, the Slide Hip Turn (10-14-B) has replaced the Standard Hip Turn (10-14-A) as the Hip Turn Variation in the Drive and Drag Loading Basic Patterns. Which is okay -- it emphasizes 'Parallel Pivot' Motion (3rd Edition) -- except that...
The 'Slide with a Delayed Turn' remains illustrated as a 'Slide with no appreciable Turn.'
Botttom Line:
Homer Kelley never intended the 10-14-B photos to represent the Hip Turn Component for the Uncompensated Stroke Patterns of 12-1-0 and 12-2-0. The Pivot is the Rotor of the Stroke. It generates the necessary circular motion and should be so illustrated.
