I suggest first doing the exercise only with a balled Left Fist (and no dowel). Swing your fist back waist high and point the butt of the fist at the Line. The fist will be palm-down to the Plane and the Left Wrist will be Flat. Then, Rotate the fist through 'Impact' to waist high in the Finish. Once again, make sure the butt of the fist points at the Line. The left fist will be palm-up to the Plane and the Left Wrist will have remained Flat. Swing the Left Arm back and through continuously and get used to the Motion (its Rotation and its alignments).

Again, make sure your Wrist is Flat at the Top and at the Finish. Most people will find their Left Wrist Bent at the Finish, even when the fist is 'balled' and there is no Club! It is what the Un-educated Hand has been allowed to get away with all this time. The demon is alive and well.

Next, stick a dowel in the fist. DO NOT ASSUME A NORMAL GOLF GRIP LIKE EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO AT FIRST! This simplifies the entire exercise and keeps the focus on Left Forearm Rotation and not on Wristcock.

Finally, repeat the exercise with a gripped-down Golf Club. First in the fist, then in a normal grip. Then head to the Practice Tee. Do not try to 'hit the ball'. Instead, simply 'make the Motion' and let the Motion make the Shot.

If you do as I have prescribed, there is a high probability you soon will be hitting the best shots of your life.
Star System Commander . . .

Colonel Extree Krispy reporting from the deep-deep-fried-smothered-skattered-covered-diced-and-chunked Northern Carolina front sir.

I regret to report a significant shortage of Release Swivel sir . . . INCOMING!!!! After driving a WEDGE deep into enemy territory and digging the trenches, we are experiencing significant casualties sir. We gotta ROLL outta here, sir!!! We are dug DOWN deep. We need air support . . . back ON PLANE Commander!

Dear God . . . what has my life come to?

So the Release Swivel is executed after Hinge Action, Both Arms Straight and Full Lever Extension.

Question on the execution of Swivel. . . should the left elbow not be beginning to bend after both arms straight? How long should the Left Arm remain straight? For example in Punch 2/3's Swivel should the Left elbow begin to bend?

Thanks!
