Am I aiming what, two inches behind the ball? The throw down of the vertical left wrist hinge. What are you aiming with?
I imagine the "correct" sensation, or a good sensation, or an effective use of the vertical left wrist in hitting to be something like this...RFT loads the wrist and then the golfer braces into the front foot and sort of glides until they pull with the left tricep and fire the vertical hinge down. It is like a slow, deliberate, ax blow to the base of a tree. A slow, heavy blow that you really step into. Almost like a person steps into a baseball swing.
What do you think? 'Shall I take up arms in opposition to the that little golf ball or shall I, in my mind, continue to suffer
the slings and arrows of ourageously bad technique?'

So, your Right Elbow at the Top of the Swing should appear to point downward somewhat. Your Right Elbow will point Downward at the Top of the Swing when you turn your hands to Plane during Startup. If you don't turn your hands, but keep the Left Wrist Vertical to the Ground, then your Right Elbow will end Up behind, or Pointing Behind your Right Hip at the Top of the Backstroke. So,,,Standard Wrist Action will Load the Secondary Lever and Single Wrist Action will Load the Primary Lever.
If you want to Hit the Ball solid with your driver, then use an AIMing Point 2 inches behind the Ball. Then your Pitched Right Elbow, will pass the Right Hip during the Downswing and your Release Point (Elbow Location at Release) will be somewhere in front of your Right Hip. For short clubs, the AIMing Point is a little ahead of the ball while for longer clubs it's behind the ball.
