Why is 10-2-D release motion considered "throwing the Clubface at the ball?" Don't understand this . . . What does he mean?

I'm trying to reconcile these to quotes:

4-D-0 RELEASE MOTIONS . . . Normally, Uncocking is a function of the Wrists actuating the Clubhead (4-B). See 5-0 and 7-11. It has nothing to do with Clubface alignment at Impact – that is the function of the Hands, executing a Clubface Motion (4-C) – Accumulator #3 (2-G). Whenever the Wrist Motion (instead of Hand Motion) throws the Clubface at the ball, there will be Steering and Clubhead Throwaway.


AND

10-2-D STRONG DOUBLE ACTION . . . This Grip Type features maximum Wristcocking action and strong support for both Acceleration and Impact loads.

So 10-2-D grip Throws the CLUBFACE at the ball which sounds like a BAD thing pe 4-D-0. But then he says that 10-2-D provides strong support for acceleration and impact loads.

Just what is throwing the clubface at the ball . . . is good or bad or both?

Thanks!

I'll have a go at this, but I'm a non-expert so may be wrong...

With 10-2-D the turned left wrist mean that wrist cock is on plane without a swivel first, so uncocking the left wrist will throw not only the cubhead, but also the clubface at the ball. But with a strong single action grip and standard wrist action, one swivels then cocks, so the clubface turns away from the ball. In that case the uncocking of the left wrist only throws the clubhead at the ball - the clubface still has to roll into the ball - attempting to throw the clubface at the ball from this position (as well as the clubhead) results in a breakdown of the left wrist.

Basically with 10-2-D you can use a sort of hammering (uncocking) motion of the left wrist to hammer the clubhead and face into the ball because the clubface is perpendicular to the plane of the left wrist cock.

Hope this helps.
