Swivel Action Versus Hinge Action

Wrist Turn (to the right) and Wrist Roll (to the left) are true rotations. They are Swivel Actions (10-18-A).

In contrast, the Wrist can remain Vertical -- perpendicular -- to one of the Three Basic Planes (of Motion), i.e., Horizontal, Angled or Vertical. While this action may appear to Turn and Roll, there is no independent rotation. This is a Hinge Action (10-10-C/D/E).

With a Swivel Action, the Turned Wrist must later be Rolled (unless a Cut Shot is being played). With a Hinge Action, it remains Vertical to its Associated Plane.
