I have the Augusta DTL footage, but I cannot produce the requisite number of freeze-frame images because the film camera frame rate was too fast to capture the necessary number of capture images.

You wrote-: "This is only my opinion though so the only way i can describe to you is the right hand is accelerated at impact in a manner like it is working under and to the left of a firm left wrist while at the same time the right wrist maintains the bend."

I think that are making a mistake when you state that the right hand is working under and to the left of a firm left wrist. That would imply that the right hand is supinating, when it its really pronating. What gives you the impression that the right hand is working under, and to the left, is the fact that Hogan turns his body/arms/hands leftwards immediately after impact and that changes the hand-viewing angle as viewed by a camera placed directly behind the golfer. It will give the "appearance" that the right hand is working under (supinating), when it is actually working over (pronating).

Secondly, this right hand pronation phenomenon does not occur during impact, and only occurs well after impact as part of the start of the finish swivel action, and I therefore think that it plays no power role during impact (when the right wrist is level and bent).

Jeff.
