This may have not been necessary to think about but for me in learning the final move I needed to make was the swivel after the uncock. This is the way you return the clubshaft back on plane. Without it some great pushes. With it dead straight shots. For me it was not automatic at the time since my total thought was on my right side arm motion and the swivel is a left side function. Thanks to Yoda my penalty was 100 left arm only dowel swivel finishes for the rest of my life.

If you play it frame by frame.
Personally I feel the Karate chop stays against the plane then swivels
after contact. The swivel is not forced just happens by itself.
Yes, this is something I want to ask Yoda himself.

I thought the Karate Chop is suppose to teach the Sequenced Release used by Swingers. Hitters use a Simultaneous Release, which basically feels like one big Angled Hinge Action on the downswing (a result of the turning of the body and the orbiting left arm), or a Paddlewheel Motion (if they have Turned their Left Hand on the face of the Inclined Plane at the Top). Sequenced Release is more compatible with the Throw Out action of Centrifugal Force. Simultaneous Release is more compatible with the Drive Out action of Right Tricep Muscle Power.

Any comments? Should Hitters use a Release Swivel (Uncock then Roll) into Impact? I thought Hitters should only use a Finish Swivel. What was Yoda actually doing in the aforementioned video?
Swingers do the Uncock and swivel back to impact. For a swing on the back stroke, the swivel should be completed by hip height or sooner and on the down stroke it doesn't start until reaching hip height (aprox positions)

Hitters motion is such that the swivel isn't completed until the top and on down stroke it is just a continuation of movement to impact

At least that is the way I understand the action
