This is my favorite movie of all time.......even better than Slapshot or Brian's Song. There is a lot to consider in this one. And Daryl is so right the Swivel is a major "secret", if you will, a pathway to improved contact via the flat, rolling left wrist. Homer did after all place unusual emphasis upon it in 12-3-0!
Of the Swivels it is the Finish Swivel that is often the missing ingredient. As Yoda so emphatically states, the adoption of " overtaking with a flat rolling left wrist will immediately take you to the next level". "This is where the Golfing Machine Lives".
-12-3-0 Section 6 - The Top pt 21. DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP. There is only one word that is so emphatically presented in the entire 12-3-0 checklist and that word is"ROLL". You'll note that it is preceded by pt 21." Delivery Line Uncocking Prep." Which Homer presents with out any unusual emphasis. You'll also notice that is listed as part of Section 6-TOP! Yes , this is to say that you should be preparing to ROLL along the Delivery Line whilst at Top! The actual execution of the roll is listed much later. "On Line Release Swivel" is not listed until pt 38. "Finish Swivel" not listed until pt 41.
Why does Homer put such special emphasis on the intent to "Roll", at Top?. What does he mean by "Delivery Line"? What does he mean by "Prep"? Here are a couple of thoughts , please add to them. Treat it as a Wiki. This is the heart and soul of the book maybe.
-In regard to the word "Prep": In his masterpiece premium video with Brian Gay, Lynn states that golfers spend all of their time thinking about things that occur prior to Impact and for the most part have no idea what is suppose to happen after impact. No concept of Both ARms Straight, or more importantly the Release Swivel. Since the ball is gone why does it matter anyways? "Because you must prepare" says Lynn. To me meaning that if you are not preparing for overtaking to happen with a Flat Rolling Left Wrist then your are most likely preparing for it to happen with a chicken wing and and a bending left wrist. The ball will feel this shoddy preparation as it manifests itself in Release and Impact.
-"Rolling" is not consistent with a notion of keeping the clubface square to the hole though impact , Steering. "Delivery Line" is not consistent with a notion of the clubhead traveling a straight line towards the target also a form of Steering. Which gets us back to 2-C-0 again and the geometry of impact. It isnt a taking of the back of the ball towards the target with a square clubface!
Only with that intent to Roll in mind from Top will you break your habit of executing Finish Swivel with a chicken wing and a bending left wrist. To have this intent you must see the illusion, the false logic of Steering for what it is and commit instead to ROLL the Flat Left Wrist along the Delivery Line.
Put your Tally on and try it out in slow motion for a real eye opener! Try one Rolling try one Steering. See what happens to the left wrist , the chicken wing.
very important post, Kevin Carter outlined it for me last September and it really makes a difference. You cannot over emphasize delivery line roll prep at the top. It is really easy to fail to prepare to roll.
There ya go Daryl, back on track. 12-3-0 pt 22. DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP.
"Why? Because that's were the Golfing Machine LIVES, thats why!" Lynn Blake. The thing that if done with a flat left wrist "will take you immediately to the next level". The opposite of Steering Prep. All derived from Homer's impact geometry in 2-C-0, total compression with an Inside -Out Impact 2-J-2 and Horizontal Hinging.
Close the thread, Baby. Quick. You gotta start doing your prep for next weeks post.

Post time is Saturday Morning at 8:00am Central Time.
I will explain precisely and clearly, Delivery Roll Prep, Downstroke Geometry, Release Alignments, Impact and Follow-through. Anyone who reads the post and looks at the pictures will immediately be able to apply their new knowledge and perform a perfect Sequenced Release. It will be that easy. Hitters will be able to perform a perfect Simultaneous release.
Additionally, Swingers will learn to Swivel at Start-up and I'm giving 3 Options for the Release Swivel. "Everything you wanted to know about a Swivel but were afraid to ask". And lastly, the best of all, for Swingers, I'm going to show you Where to Release, How to Release and How to get there.
Oh, and so there is no confusion or doubt, my pictures include a Plane-Board. It's made of Glass, and it has Right Forearm Impact Alignments in dry erase marker on it.

That plane board made of glass sounds interesting. That is a major undertaking, thanks in advance.
What about Finish Swivel? Is that in there? Stopping at Follow Through is easy but getting to Follow Through, Both Arms Straight while on your way to a Finish Swivel is a different matter. Most guys dont make it all the way down and out or get both arms straight.

Did I miss the Sat. morning post...deleted? ..postponed?
Sorry. I'm having Technical difficulties. I need a couple of more days. A rain delay.
I think the delay is because U are waiting until after I go on vacation tomorrow morning.
Sooo, I have to comment in the blind.
When incorperating any new or changed element into your swing do it first in very slow motion and Look, Look, look at every detail. As you speed up, at the first wobble, back up and correct it.

Where am I? what am I doing here? (paraphrase Stockton")
In the LOUNGE. Talking on about something that started with RELEASE SWIVEL. Went to roll through impact. Then follow through/finish swivel. Then elbow plane not allowing EA then EA required for swivel. I stuck a "Huh" in there couple of times. I will withdraw my Huh's because I think I understand what I think I understand if that will help you end this thread. OK
