The free flowing , rolling with rhythm flail produces the fastest club head speeds and more face rolling. A farmer would never flail with a vertical hinge it being less speedy , less effective , more injurious , more effortful too perhaps. Compression does require the higher rates of face closure IMO. But there is a rate which is too much! To find the exact rate of closure that is ideal in the absence of cf producing it would require even more skill than Homer thought necessary. Hogan might concur with this line of thinking as he believed that as a golfers swing (flail) improved the natural by product was a hooked shot and so he held off his #3 rotation somewhat. There's some irony there perhaps as he possessed the worlds greatest flail and in the end held it off on occasion , to varying degrees.
HB what about Horizontal then ? Is it the ideal compression wise ? Or are the various basic planes "arbitrary" so to speak? Mere bench marks?

3-B, par.#4, "... Inability to execute a
full Pivot Stroke at one half and one quarter speed as smoothly as at full speed indicates a flaw in the full speed procedure. ..."
Hogan had his super-slow-motion "concentration" drill.
I believe the swing is very mechanical in how it executes the physics and the/my/anyones UNCOMPENSATED stroke contains avery limited access to component variations.
I believe horizontal hinge fits with swinging and angled fits with hitting. And for good reasons. In swinging pp#3 is mainly sensing and ihas no restriction about rotating on the shaft. BUT hitting the right hand pp#1 mmust retain geometric relationship th the left which controls hinging therefore angled is necessary to maintain this relationship.
As you can see I would make my chapter #13 grow and limit component selection substantialy.
I am a believer in the "KISS" keep it simple philosophy. If a motion is not "advantageous" eliminate it. The face is aligned at the top for good reason. Why mess up this alignment then do a recovery move through impact. The wedge"s assembly rolls into impact. maybe ~30 deg. and this is insync with the unfolding right arm, and the swivel at both arms streight is again only about 30 deg. this must be a swivel because there is no other way to keep the shaft near the plane. Hogan looks like he is holding off but I think he has eliminated unnecessary "stuff". If you look at hogan release carefully you can see a release that goes closed to open and reduces arror. On the other hand, "so many" seem to have the philosophy of OPEN to CLOSE through impact. (phil mickelson perhaps) Now PM has great hands. Hogan had great ball striking. and I am convinced Hohan could do all that PM does but only when needed.
