Doing What Comes Unnaturally
I received the PM below and am posting my answer for all.

Yes, BB1. Left unhampered, Centrifugal Force will (1) Uncock your Left Wrist 'Hammer' (a Vertical Motion) and then (2) Swivel (as demanded by Grip Type) your Hands (a Rotational Motion) into their Impact Fix alignments.

But therein lies the problem...

The less-skilled Swinger overrides Centrifugal Force and actively thrusts the back of the Shaft (in a Horizontal Motion) via the #3 Pressure Point. This is False Feel Wrist Action (6-D-3), and it must be replaced by the correct Release Motions (4-D-0) before any real long-term progress can be made.
