In continuation of my thoughts on the "Original and Optimal Swing Motion", I tried to observe   the number of"Figure 8"s the body executes in a swing motion.
For starters, the wrists,  and hands, which I see as the nucleus of the swing motion,  and the most important. It obviously controls the butt of the shaft, which in turn controls weight or load,of which  both execute a figure 8.
Secondly, and equally as important , is the hips. Because of the connection of the upper torso and lower body, it is the core of the power source. The hips must translate ,coordinate,  and support the actions and intent of the swing motion. Their distinctive figure 8 is both cause and effect for this motion.
The knees, shoulders, elbows and even the nose and ears, make the figure 8 motion.
It is the constant changing of positions or direction that creates power in the motion. From up to down , from left to right, the power flows and increases as it speeds up.

For instance, the left and right side flow through this motion and change positions, as do the   hips, shoulders, left eye, right eye. They generate e speed and power much the same way a skate boarder does in a bowl, a kid on a rip stick or skate board. These are all motions that are naturally ingrained in our DNA to generate power or energy.
IMO, we must first learn to swing by observing this simple motion that we all execute naturally. There is no one way or wrong way, for that matter, to execute this motion. While every swing will be different , the results will be the same every time. Power will be generated and repeatable.
The components of this swing are, pull, push, lift , drop, and with change of direction causing  acceleration   and ultimately a release, all executed naturally with tempo.
This is what the swing feels like to me and how I interpret motion. I will never forget this motion.  It can be trusted because it never lies and will hold up under pressure.
If you execute this motion, I believe your swing will find you, it will answer all your questions, if you  just trust it.
