Hi Mike O. 6-B-3-0-1 says "the entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft,
and the BACK OF THE LEFT HAND are always positioned against
the same flat plane."

Another item in the discussion about Layback and closing.
This sounds a lot like pronation instead of Supinating. I realize
that Ben Hogan was most likely swinging rather than hitting but
he said "When a golfer's left wrist begins to pronate just before
impact, it changes his arc: it shortens it drastically and makes
the pitch of his upswing altogether too steep and constricted.
At the very point in the swing in which he should increasing
the speed of his hands, by pronating he slows them down.
Instead of accelarating and picking up speed at impact, he has
expanded all his speed before he hits the ball"

Guess that I will be eaten alive for suggesting that layback/closing
appears to be pronation, but I can be corrected.
