As I’ve said, the right forearm and trigger finger control the plane of motion by tracing the baseline of the plane – normally the target line – through impact. The forefinger senses the pressure created by the drag of the lagging club (specifically, the sweetspot), and it directs this lag pressure feel directly toward and along the line. Meanwhile, the left wrist remains perpendicular to the ground. It appears to roll through impact, but it is not independently twisted. Because the left wrist does not swivel – again, it simply remains perpendicular to the ground – the clubface closes uniformly. It does not over-roll and, and unless otherwise intended, it does not lay back. So, control of the clubhead orbit and lag pressure is a right hand function. Control of the clubface is a left hand function.
Perpendicular to the ground? Isn't that only with vertical hinging?

No, I was referring to Horizontal Hinging, the "Ideal Application" (of Linear Force) and its "perfect vector alignments" (2-C-1). Here the Left Wrist is held perpendicular, i.e., Vertical (neither Turned nor Rolled) to the horizontal plane, e.g., the ground, through Impact, thereby imparting an identical, 'Closing only' motion to the Clubface.
Alternatively, with Vertical Hinging, the Left Wrist is held perpendicular to the vertical plane, e.g., a wall, thereby imparting a Layback motion to the Clubface. This Action tends to disturb the original contact point of Clubface and Ball and results in a loss of Compression.
thanks for the answer sir. That would still leave room for the forearm clubshaft lever to be on plane and the left wrist (fingers) pointing somewhat vertical to the ground, yet still not have the wrist totally uncocked at impact.
that is what I'm thinking anyway. Will do more research.

I'm a bit confused. Why would the left wrist NOT be totally uncocked at impact?

see 2-P. The wristcock, first chapter
I keep on studying.. each bit helps. I can perform the hinge actions (short shots) but it is the understanding of specific concepts, whether HKs or others, that will take me to the next level.
The Hinges are mounted at the shouders but controlled by the hands. Educated hands is the key. Moniter a flat left wrist and allow the horizontal hinge (swinging) to happen.

Rumbler,
Your reply indicates that you do not yet understand the Hinge Action concept. That's not unusual...it is a paradigm for Clubface Control unique to The Golfing Machine. But...not to worry! Go to The Gallery and watch my free videos on the subject. They will help clear the fog.
