Unless you are among the Gifted Few, KappaRaider, the answer is...
Swivel first consciously according to the Instruction given in The Golfing Machine and in these pages.
Then, let the motion happen subconsciously.
Watch (in The Gallery) the 6bmike video short "Ready To Roll On the Plane" and duplicate my rotational Wrist Motion with a dowel in the FIST of your Left Hand -- NOT a regular Golf Grip.
If you don't KNOW that you are Swiveling...
Assume that you are not.
Because you probably aren't.
Here is a great view of the Finish Swivel of PGA TOUR player Arjun Atwal as he lets loose on his way to a 64 in yesterday's first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. Note that the Left Wrist has remained Flat and that the back of the Left Hand and the palm of the Right Hand have Snap-Rolled out of the Follow-Through (the Both Arms Straight position) and into their 'parallel to the Plane' conditions for the Finish (2-G and 4-D-0).

It doesn't get any better than this!
Doc . . . Should this "position" be achieved by a player with a Turned Left Hand grip as well?
Question: In the Finish swivel don't you lose #2 imperative(clubhead lag pressure point)- leading to clubhead blackout? If so, does this mean that there is a ranking of imperatives?
Any help would be appreciated!
I am reading all 15 pages of this thread for the first time (as a new forum member) and I was wondering whether an over-swivel action that happens during the followthrough phase (from impact to both arms straight position) of the swing is due to insufficient turning of the upper torso. It is my understanding that the biomechanical action of horizontal hinging operates at the level of the left shoulder socket and left upper arm, and doesn't involve any forearm rotary movements operating below left elbow level. For horizontal hinging to happen without any superimposed swivelling action, I suspect that the body has to turn well through the impact zone, so that the arms are essentially kept in front of the rotating torso. If the body turn movement through the impact zone is sluggish (relative to the speed of the arms moving through the impact zone), then I suspect that there will be an additional non-deliberate rotary movement of the left radius over the left ulna during the followthrough phase of the swing (due to the momentum of the moving club) - and this will cause the clubface to face the ground instead of being parallel to the ground in the followthrough phase of the swing. I don't know if that phenomenon happened in Ben Doyle's posted swing photos, but I suspect that it may happen frequently in many golfers who have a relatively sluggish torso rotation through the impact zone.
Watching TT today, I noticed that he uses a high followthrough with a bent right wrist that REQUIRES a full, in tempo pivot before allowing the arms to finish behind the left ear. Lag sustained at all times.
