Ted Fort's Golf Channel Instructor Search Video

I still don't understand how it is possible to roll the left forearm to get additional force/speed (as the 4th source as shown in the video) without it being a hinging motion. When the left arm rolls - why isn't that a horisontal hinging? Is it a movement of the left forearm that is identical to a horisontal (or angled?) hinging, but is called something else? The left arms doesn't move and not move at the same time? And if it moves - how can one roll the left forearm in different ways - it turns to the left doesn't it? How does this work with a angled hinging - how does the left forearm turn in this case? Who is bright enough to explain this in an understandable way?

Bright enough? Who knows? But, I'll do my best.

I'd like to preface the explanation by asking some leading questions:

1. Can I come into Impact in Pitch Elbow, with the Flat Left Wrist Turned and Cocked, then endow the Clubhead with speed through Uncocking and Rolling during the Release Interval, and (FROM IMPACT TO FOLLOW THROUGH) execute Vertical Hinging? If so, would it take some effort?

2. Can I come into Impact in Push Elbow, with the Flat Left Wrist Vertical and Level, endow the Clubhead with any additional speed, and (FROM IMPACT TO FOLLOW THROUGH) execute Horizontal Hinging? If so, should I?

I've purposefully gone to some extremes. There are things that are compatible and some things that are not. Holding the Left Wrist Vertical to any of the three Planes (Horizontal, Vertical, or Angled) from Impact to Follow Through can always be done at the slowest speeds. But, as the speed of the Club increases, through Uncocking and Rolling (Sequenced or Simultaneous), the momentum of the Clubhead and the rate of closing of the Clubface increase. A Clubface that's closing slowly or quickly tends to continue to do the same. Can it be interrupted? Yes.

Although that's a little deeper than the intent of my video, made for "Joe Public", I hope this clears some fog.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
