Swingers Follow Through Alignments CE#18

The pure Swing by definition uses Dual Horizontal Hinging (10-10-D) with its longer Clubhead Travel and pure Rhythm (2-G) of the #3 Accumulator (6-B-3-0). Hence, the Club must pass the Hands (via the Flat and Rolling Left Wrist) sooner than with either Angled or Vertical Hinging.

That said, a Right Shoulder that has been kept well down and On Plane (per 7-13) in its Turn through the Ball -- an alignment that can be deliberately established at Impact Fix (8-2) by pre-positioning the Shoulders with the Club at the desired limit point -- permits a longer Follow-Through Interval. In other words, the farther the Shoulder turns after Impact, the farther the Hands must travel before both Arms become straight for their Follow-Through Alignments. In such an instance, the Hands could be well past the ball, with the Clubshaft in line with the Left Forearm, and the player still be executing an unhampered #3 Accumulator roll of the Dual Horizontal Hinge.

Also, a Swinger whose Grip features a Turned Left Hand on the Club (10-2-D or 10-2-F) must necessarily extend further through the Ball before the Clubhead passes the Hands, regardless of the Hinge Action employed.

Finally, the Swinger who is deliberately executing the Angled or Vertical Hinge Action could find the Clubshaft aligned with the Left Arm well into the Follow-Through. And this would be particularly evident with an abbreviated Finish, i.e., where the Follow-Through (8-7) is the Finish. However, should either of these Hinge Actions be employed, "pure" Swinging no longer exists because "pure" Swinging can, by definition, use only the Horizontal Hinge Action of Centrifugal Force to align the Clubface. Therefore, no manual override is possible (without violating the definition). Nevertheless, it remains a Swinging Action, not a Hitting Action.
