[12 piece bucket]

I was doing some slo-mo, look, look, at high hands vs. low hands at impact and thinking about the consequences resulting from hand position at impace.

Looking at several conditions:

First swinging only:

#1 very high hands- Impact / lowpoint, left wrist close to uncocked-#2 accumulator , long release before “release swivel”- #3 accumulator, small pulley

#2 very low hands- impact/lowpoint, left wrist cocked-#2 accumulator, short release before “release swivel”-#3 accumulator, large pulley

These conditions are the EXTREMES.

In one condition – long #2 velocity accumulator travel

In the other condition – long#3 endless belt travel
.
What are the consequences/trade-off’s as I move in the direction of either extreme?

VERY NICE!!! Welcome to the application of THE GOLFING MACHINE! You have moved from the world of book worm chapter and verse (which ain't a bad thing) to the world of a MACHINIST!!!

Now you are seeing how the different components must blend together and the rates at which and the amounts which certain components must comply to keep the clubshaft laying on the selected plane angle . . . .

This is a great place to be in your journey . . . now you gone from just looking at the dresses in the catalog to actually trying them on . . . seeing which one fits . . . which one looks best with your lipstick . . . your car . . . what you intended to do when the dress falls on the floor . . . .

Your observations are correct . . . the next step may be to see how your pivot has to work to move the plane on the "high hands" plane vs the "low hands" plane angles that you have described. Extremes as you say are a nice way to define how your body has to move to move the club on the selected plane angle. Remember the entire length of the shaft lays on the plane . . . you'll note some different movements in all your joints are required to achieve minimal shifting from the angle you choose.

In addition to your body and the arrangement of joints/components . . . . look at how the clubface and clubhead travels on the planes you described . . . which one has more clubhead travel . . . which one has a faster rate of closure of the clubface intrinsic to the plane angle. Good stuff.
