So vertical left hand cocking, hand motion, when done on a vertical plane would be vertical to the ground in terms of the cocking direction. Vertical left hand cocking done on a horizontal plane would be horizontal to the ground. But either way its a vertical left hand cocking (hand motion) in the direction of the Plane you are traveling which for us almost always an Inclined Plane, golf being a side on game.

Right hand motion on the other hand is Horizontal, only. The Plane of the Right Hand Bend, the RFFW. Weird but wonderful. How did Homer ever figure that one out? So contrary to what you'd think at first glance or after 30 years of glancing even. Most of us imagining both hands cocking vertically, together.

Six hours research. I found an explanation of Single and Standard Wrist Action that makes the concept Clear to me.

Quote:
Maintaining the Flying Wedge Assembly alignments throughout the Stroke is mandatory. However, the procedure used to accomplish this goal is optional.

The second procedure you have described -- Single Wrist Action (10-18-C-2) -- is typically the Hitter's choice. It is indeed quite structured, and it is not surprising that you Feel it as more "mechanical." Here, the Pivot brings the Left Wrist into its On Plane Condition at The Top. Hence, though the Left Wrist gradually Turns to the Top, there is no true Rotation (Swivel) of the Left Wrist on the Backstroke.

Similarly, this procedure has no true Rotation (Swivel) on the Downstroke. The Left Wrist simply reverses its Backstroke Motion and gradually Rolls into Impact. In other words, the Left Wrist Turns and Rolls (due to the Turning of the Body and the orbiting of the Arm) but it is not deliberately Turned and Rolled (by the player). During the Release Interval, this Action is Powered by the Thrust of the Hitter's Active Right Elbow. At all times during the Stroke, the right-angled relationship of the Left Arm and Right Forearm Flying Wedges are maintained.

In contrast, your preferred procedure is the Swinger's Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) with its deliberate Start Up and Release Swivels -- True Rotation -- and, also, its Sequenced Release (4-D-0) of the Left Wrist (Uncock) and Left Hand (Roll). As the Flat Left Wrist Turns and Rolls On Plane, the Bent Right Wrist and Right Forearm likewise Turn and Roll, thereby maintaining the proper 90 degree support of the Left Arm Flying Wedge. Centrifugal Force does almost all the work, and the whole thing requires a lot less effort and concentration than Hitting. As Homer said, "You can practically sleep and swing."
Here's what I think.

So, the simple act of Turning (Single Wrist Action) only opens the Clubface. The cause of the Slow Rotation of the Wedges to the Top of the Swing is RIGHT ELBOW BENDING. I know what all of the swingers are thinking. It's primitive, and lacks gracefulness. It's a clumsy, almost a neanderthal type movement like banging on an animal carcass with a bone.

SWINGERS, bend their Elbows and Swivel during Start-up and allow the Pivots Rotation to carry that alignment the length of the Backstroke. It's artistic and athletic.


Does this mean that "TOP" is not a location on the way to "END" but a different "PATH"?

Who is discussing things here D? Is it you and Yoda?

I dont have my book with me but somewhere in it I believe Homers alludes to both Single and Standard wrist action arriving at the same position at Top. Despite the difference in when the Left Hand is Turned or Turns to Plane.

Either way its a Right Forearm Takeaway assuming you're a TGM adherent. Why the heck do you guys try to use your airy fairy little golfers flail on the backswing anyways. OH are you a LEFTIST?

So the club cocks on plane right D? Do you buy it on the downswing too then?

"Sustain the Thrust", STT, our motto.

I always thought so. It was Hitting that had confused me.

I read from a reliable source, that it took Homer 15 years to discover that the Flat Left Wrist was the #1 Alignment.
