Get out your toolbelt and your hammer and bust Plane Lines with Collards

The Target, on the other hand, is well to your left...way out there...somewhere. Steering the Club on a Line to that distant Target is completely different than swinging Down and Out toward the Plane Line down and in front of you.

If the Left Wrist is placed on the Grip in a Vertical Condition, then the Flat Left Wrist at Impact assures compliance with the 'in line' Left Arm and Shaft requirement. It also affords a visual confirmation of that compliance (4-D-1).
However, if you have Turned your Left Wrist when taking the Grip, then that precise amount of Wrist Turn becomes Wrist Bend at Impact. Hence, you have lost the visual check afforded by the Flat Left Wrist. However, as long as the Clubshaft has not passed the in-line condition with the Left Arm, you have complied with the Law of the Flail (2-K-#2) and maintained Rhythm. This compliance -- despite its lack of a visual check -- is known as the Geometric Flat Left Wrist.

And it's a good thing. In fact, if you've got a 10-2-D Grip, it's the only thing! Through Impact, there is only Uncocking (Wrist Motion) and zero Roll (Hand Motion).
The quote from 4-D-0 (Release Motions) assumes the 10-2-B Grip (Left Wrist Vertical to the ground). Unlike the Release Motion required by the 10-2-D Grip (Wrist Motion only), the On Plane Uncocking of the Left Wrist (Wrist Motion) must be followed by the Roll of the #3 Accumulator Angle (Hand Motion). This Sequenced Release simultaneously returns the Left Wrist to Vertical and Squares the Clubface.
To alternatively square the Clubface by 'throwing' the Club past a Bending Left Wrist -- a Horizontal Wrist Motion -- is as disastrous as it is common. This is a different 'throw' -- ThrowAWAY! -- and it is far different than the Swinger's Release Wrist Throw (a Perpendicular Wrist Motion).
If you want to learn about release motions and grip type, this is your thread. Read the first quote live it and love it. Your target is IN FRONT OF YOU not to the LEFT OF YOU.
