New Goal Revision

I hereby do solemnly swear to hereto-henceforth-forthwith keep my right wrist bent and level while straightening my right elbow through the utilization of either centrifugal force or the use of muscular thrust etc. etc.
I like that one better.
Jeff really had it right when he said:

The reason I posted what I did was that I did not want you to make the same mistake I made. The first time I saw Ted, he had me open the book to chapter 9 and read out loud:
"EMPHATICALLY, the hands are not educated until they control the pivot."
So, while the HANDS are the only part of the body that touches the club, the feet are the only part of the body that are connected to something that does not move. The swing has to get from the base to the hands through the pivot. That could be part of what Hogan meant when he said that the secret is in the dirt; the "dirt" is the foundation of the swing.
