P2 to P3 - any shoulder turn?

[hack2scratch]

When you move from p2(shaft parallel) to p3(arm parallel) is it simply raising the right arm up so that the left arm is parallel?

Is there any hip or shoulder action? or is that left for p3 to p4(top of backswing)?

Yes, there's both hip and shoulder rotation going on from P2 and P3

Depends. Some might feel just turning to there. Others might feel raising their left up. Some might feel where the hands are at. For me, I like to feel a bit more hinge from P2 to P3.

There's a LOT of turning from 2-3.

This is gonna sound weird.  If I stand facing my kitchen counter and reach for the peanut butter jar there and then put it in the cupboard 90 degrees to my right what happens to my shoulders/hips?

For me my hips turn with the shoulders some.  I wouldn't keep the hips fixed and twist my spine in a strained fashion to do that.

Turning the torso is of fundamental importance.
