2) The 'roll' is imparted by the PIVOT. Uncock (on plane) then Roll (via the pivot throw out action). The uncock is a 'downward on plane' motion, the plane of the left wristcock, the left wedge. If CF is being used properly, the 'true swinger' will find that nothing must be done with the HANDS to produce 'roll' - simply uncocking and pivoting properly.

This is what I feel with the Tomasello motion shown recently - a strong uncocking downplane with the feel like the club is going into the ball way open. But then the pivot kicks in and you get a nice little drawing action. Sometimes I fail to trust however, and bend the plane line - I mean the club looks really open!

With the pivot supplying the roll, would you say the pivot centre (or verticle axis) is serving as a hinge pin on the horizontal plane?
