I feel no independent Hand Motion, either going back or coming through. But then...

I have Educated Hands and do not Steer (3-F-7-A).

Hi Yoda,
Background:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from mine and the swinger’s point of view, the club head, shaft, right hand and forearm always travel at the same RPM from startup through impact as though bonded together in a cast. To some, the lagging takeaway procedure simply means that as the hands start, the club head remains motionless for a brief moment. To others, the Lagging club head takeaway is used to whip the club head past the hands during the backstroke (a technique taught by some West Coast Golf Gurus). The term has many meanings but inherrent in the concept is that the club head and hands are moving at different RPM. Maybe not all who use it.
When my hands turn in the backswing, extensor action does not change the relationship between my right forearm, hands, and club shaft and club head as it does in a hitting procedure (shaft becomes in-line with the left arm). Standard wrist action vs. Single wrist action.
To my point:
I agree that no change in feel occurs but only until the left wrist un-cocks during the sequenced release. After that, I do sense the roll of my hands before impact (and right wrist bending under stress). Furthermore, the more my brain expects that sensation the more forceful the horizontal hinge action becomes.
