It's just important to understand that alot of the Golfing Machine is mechanical descriptions of what is happening or should be happening. That may be great information if the machine breaks down and you need to fix it- but it's not helpful in the operation of the machine. Just like the mechanical features/knowledge of how to build and/or repair a car and how an engine operates- are much different than the operational knowledge to drive the car.

Ideally, what needs to be expressed but is rarely expressed, is the context of the statement. Is it a mechanical feature or an operational feature. And then further - how does that mechanical feature relate to the operational feature or vica versa.

For example, using Golfing Machine terms- "your flying wedges lost their structure on the downswing" i.e. say the left wrist bent before impact -
That is the mechanical feature.

You need to maintain the flying wedges your coach tells you-
That is a mechanical feature.

You then decide to try "hold" the thing in place on the downswing -
That is an operational feature.

Maybe you try to "feel" them stay in place on the downswing-
That is an operational feature.

Unfortunately, both of your "changes" were an effort to "copycat" the mechanical feature. When let's say in your particular situation the best possible correction might be to feel the same amount of lag pressure that you loaded at the top- maintained via acceleration - beyond impact. That would be your operational feature that corrects the mechanical feature. Or could be any one of unlimited other possible operational features that produces the correct mechanical feature. You might have throwaway and find that if you smell fried chicken on the downswing that you don't have throwaway- hence the operational feature would be to have a barbecue in your golf cart- I'm not naming names here.
