Typo?

Shouldn't this say:

I like the "wheel rim" (swinger) or "wheel track" (hitter) images for keeping the hands moving along the plane in a simultaneous motion. UP-IN-BACK or DOWN-OUT-FORWARD are ONE motion (on plane), not three different ones.

Incidentally, I have had problems with overactive knees and I have found that the thought of running my hands around the wheel rim keeps my pivot motion from getting out of control. As Ted reminded me last January: "Emphatically, hands are not educated until they control the pivot." I have been incubating on that since January and I think it is starting to sink in.

I got out my dad's old (50's vintage) MacGregor forged irons the other day (the clubs I used when I started playing 25 years ago). I was surprised at how heavy they felt and how they practically swung themselves on the correct plane, if you let them. I hit some plastic balls out in the back yard for a while and found that if I just started the gyroscope on the wheel rim and let it swing, the clubface squared up by itself and impact was solid. If I tried to manipulate my hands at all, CF force went away and impact was very weak. Good lesson.

That is correct: One Three-Dimensional Basic Motion.
