Re: When Does The Swinger's Hand Manipulation Occur?

In other words, after the Grip is taken, Centrifugal Force rules.
Lynn,
Maybe you could shed some more light.
Here is how I learned it in a crude way (crude meaning how I express it):
Manipulation refers to driving the hands to their impact hand location. In your example, if once the impact alignments are established and there was no thought or attempt to drive them to a certain location and centrifugal force ruled, why would there even be a need to align them at impact fix? Centrifugal force will automatically align the clubface for horizontal hinging, and ball placement rather then hand placement, would be the key factor for directional control.
Conversely, by not allowing centrifugal force to rule, and by driving the hands to a specific location we get an intended result. Of course, this is all preprogrammed as well before the start down.
