The thrust of the Hands is Down and Out all the way to Both Arms Straight (Follow Through). Way past Low Point.

The thrust is still going Down while the clubhead is coming up post Low Point. One really good reason to monitor the hands instead of the clubhead.

Implicit in this is that the Right Arm is bent at impact. Leaving it to Thrust actively (hitting) or passively via the pivot (swinging) through the ball. Like the boxers punch, you want to reach impact with a bent right arm and then extend it. A straight arm impact having no thrust left to offer. In TGM this is referred to as "running out of right arm".

Do this right arm extension thing with the right wrist frozen in its Impact Fix degree of bend. "Golfs unique move" according to Mr Kelley.

Hey, you're asking some great questions. Next you'll probably be wondering how to get the bent right arm from Top to its Release Point? Well your just going to have to figure that one out for yourself, Buster cause there's no way I'm telling you about the "On Plane Right Shoulder". OOPs.

How could Homer Kelley's insights have been ignored by the greater golfing world for 35 years? Its as much of a wonder to me as the book itself.

Go down & out to both arms straight
You're on fire OB, hot and boiling !

OB is right GarageFan, low point is not enough and you must go to both arms straight.

Again, you remember the example with the driver: nowadays with those 460cc heads we are told to hit the ball on the way up. So, low point in this case would be before the ball.
A common fault would be to think that because the clubhead has passed low point there is no more need to go “down” in the stroke.

Wrong!

The thrust continues down and out even after the clubhead has reached low point.
It is only because of the left arm acting as a leach that the clubhead goes up and in while you continue to direct the thrust down and out until both arms straight.

Would that be the start down waggle (left hip slide)? Mine kinda happens naturally when I try to create pressure in my #4pp. That is usually my downswing thought when I'm using my swinging stroke.

Right on the money!
Hip slide moves the right shoulder down plane and gives you enough right arm to do the good stuff.
