O.B. Left, one of the great seekers, thinkers, and writers on LBG, has made an important point. One I fear is lost on most of us (as it was on me until I carefully re-read his post).
He states, "...as you take the BALL [emphasis mine] back along the Arc of Approach...". He did not say the CLUB!
To think that the golfer 'manipulates' the Hands
during the Stoke is one of the Great Misconceptions of TGM. (There are many.)
O.B.'s post assumes you know this, but long experience tells me you do not.
ALL 'Hand Manipulation' -- Hands to Handle/Clubface -- occurs when the Grip is taken in Fix (7-8; 8-2; 2-J-1) with the BALL in the desired location (Up Plane [back in Stance] or Down Plane [forward] for the Stoke intended. It does
not take place dynamically
during the Stroke.
Pre-empting the next question,
Hinge Actions -- there are three, each the direct responsibility of the Hands -- are not 'Manipulations'. Instead, they are 10th Component Variations that maintain their respective identities despite any Left Wrist-to-Clubface alterations assumed at Fix.
