Nice discussion here. Thanks.
Pivot Motion (minimal) is ok in Basic, Pivot Work however is a common add and a bad one. Basic Motion is an Arm Shot, Zone 2 as described in 12-3 anyways although a lot of guys employ Pivot Putting Zone 1 in the field. In any event its best to keep Basic to one Accumulator only, so dont let your Zone 1 motion turn into actual work or you'll have two accumulators at work....... unnecessarily complicated for such a low powered shot. Sorta like an old VW Beatle with four aftermarket Italian carburetors. Not so smooth and requiring a lot of tuning.

The photos of Brian Gay chipping which can be found on this site show some ("minimal") Pivot Motion but zero Work.............something I asked Yoda about at St Andrews this past July. Turns out Homer made a slight change to 12-3 in the 7th that I wasnt aware of. Old Course , Old Yoda.......they've both seen it all.
