Great to see you posting again, Mike

Lets clarify and be more precise about what a Swivel is.
A Swivel is a rotation of the Left Wrist from a Turned position to a Vertical position or from a Vertical position to a Turned position. The former is what we usually call “Standard Wrist Action on Downstroke”, or more commonly known as a “Release Swivel”. The latter is known as “Standard Wrist Action on Backstroke” or “Start Up Swivel".

What does “Turned” mean? Per 4-C-2, “When TURNED…the left palm faces directly toward that Plane."

Putting both these concepts together, this means the left palm is “Swiveled On Plane”, per my previous post.

So what the Start Up Swivel does is to put the Left Arm Flying Wedge On Plane, so it can remain On Plane until Release, just before the Release Swivel takes the Left Arm Flying Wedge (or the left palm) Off Plane to get into position to apply the selected Hinge Action.

With a Flat Left Wrist, the palm of the Left Hand must be On Plane for the Club to remain On Plane.

PS: photos can be deceiving!

Do you think a Swinger can feel or should focus on Release Swivel into Hinge Action? Seems like things happen WAY too fast to focus on Release Swivel in a full power stroke?

I know this is the way it works, but if somebody is actually working on this could it lead to irratic alignments of the Clubface?
