Trish or anyone!

Help, and sorry for being dumb! What is meant by the loin coupling?

Also, in all the talk about conformation I didn't see anything on the
slope of the shoulder. I have heard that the shallower the angle the
smoother the ride? Anyone know if this holds true? How does this
affect speed?

Thanks,
Bambi
