Because I know that you are a serious student of the golf swing, I would recommend that you stick-around, and participate, in this golf forum. You could learn a totally different way to think of the golf swing. You must get HK's TGM book and read it multiple times, and you must read all of Lynn Blake's archived posts. If you do, I suspect that you will never again state-: "And, IMHO, you do not educate your hands - you educate your subconsciousness to not interfere with a technically proper way to hit the ball."
HK's "educated hands" concept is fundamental to learning the "technically proper way to hit the ball." Hitting a golf ball, like driving a car, is not an intuitive skill. It is an acquired skill that only becomes intuitive when one clearly understands how do it subconsciously. However, the golf swing must first be consciously learned, then rehearsed at a slow speed, eventually at faster speeds, while paying attention-attention-attention to the details. Eventually, with proper learning and the requisite amount of "correct" practice, it can become subconsciously efficient.
If you read HK's book, then you will likely never have the need to again use Henry Cotton's terms "crossover release" and push release". HK offers a much better swing vocabulary that is more precise and more biomechanically coherent.
There is an endless interest among many golfers in discovering Hogan's undiscovered "secrets". I have read a fair number of articles and books that have supposedly discovered/exposed a hidden Hogan "secret". I have never found ONE of those "secrets" to be convincingly true. I think that the great secret about Hogan's swing is divulged (within the limitations of Hogan's theoretical knowledge) by Hogan himself in his "Five lessons" book, and made much more understandable when viewed through the prism of HK's theories on golf physics/geometry/mechanics.
Finally, you wrote-: "Moreover, the correlation between a square-to-the-arc clubface in the whole impact zone and minimizing timing issues is so convincing, that is hard to believe it can be a better way...if you know a better way - share your thoughts and I'd be the first to follow your advices immediately." Once you study TGM and understand that the clubhead never travels in a straight line, and that the clubface only needs to be square at the moment of ball-clubface separation (if you want to hit the ball straight), then you can start to learn how to "educate the hands" and the supporting body pivot action how best to produce a consistently reliable ball flight pattern.
A good place to start learning about the TGM learning curriculum is in Lynn Blake's free video gallery - view the entire Colin Neeman and Jeff Hull series of video lessons.
