You wrote-: "Golf is a two handed game. However, the left wrist cocks and uncocks by the bending and straightening of the right arm. The flat left wrist must be maintained in order to maintain rhythm. The problem I see with must bad golfers is that they try to "pull" the club through with their left arm, which leads to all sorts of malfunctions.'

What you are describing is a hitter's action. If you want to be a hitter, that is fine.

However, a switter is a golfer who combines swinging actions and hitting actions.

A swinger uncocks the left wrist by the release of PA#2 - which is a passive action and the force involved is a CF. The only active force that a pivot-driven swinger applies in his 4:2:3 release action sequence is due to the fact that the pivot drives the left arm through PP#4. When the pivot subsides, PA#4 releases and the left arm catapults forwards away from the torso. The moving left arm pulls the clubshaft via the left hand's grip at PP#2. That's the only force that a swinger applies actively - a pulling force at PP#2. The club eventually releases passively due to a CF action, and then PA#3 eventually releases passively.

A switter, by definition, must be applying an additional push force at some time point during the downswing. If you are a switter, then I would like to know when/how that push-force is applied.

Jeff.
