Okay...Okay....say hello to my little friend. (just kidding).
Boy Tong, I am starting to look like I have a vendetta! I dont, trust me. I love your enthusiasm and posts.
However...once again...I respectfully disagree.
May I ask where in the book your reference is for this? The best of my knowledge is in 2-G, the 'true rotation of the hands' in impact with no relation or reference to 'turned' to 'vertical'. Moreover, Swivel is not mentioned in 4-C. 4-C are specific Wrist positions - versus 'Swivel' which is more general and not limited to specificity in that context.
This isnt necessarily for you....but....can anyone show me where 'start up' swivel is in the book? Just curious. Not that its not in it - I just dont remember it, nor can I find it (yes - I have my book now!).
Disagree once more. If the entire left forearm wedge is onplane (the entire left arm) - the left shoulder must be onplane...and on the backstroke, I feel it would need to be above plane (due to no axis tilt)....
Again...not trying to nitpick, and love the posts, etc. But in a public forum, much can be mistrued. And - if I am wrong - which Lynn has pointed out on multiple occasions on TGM forum - I am all for learning!!!

Hi Patrick,
I love the way you question things.
Too many people take it for granted that whatever has "been around" has to be correct.
Nothing could be further from the truth. As we have all found out in our own lives from time to time, a myth usually develops a life of its own and then before we even realise it, we take it to be the "Truth."
Instead, we all need to adopt an attitude just like yours. It is like in the book of Acts where "the Bereans searched the scriptures daily to see if it were so."
