Ok...Allow me to say something about the Swivel. Please "Bear" with me.

First, keep in mind that we use "Dead Hands". The Hands are Clamps.

Second, a Swivel is the Rotation of the Clubface around the Longitudinal Axis of the Sweetspot Plane.

My interpretation of the Swivel is as follows.

The Pitched Elbow creates the Swivel during the Backstroke and the Unbending (straightening of the Right Arm) creates the Pre-Impact Swivel during Release.
  1. Hold a Golfclub in your Right Hand and align the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
  2. Start to make a Backstroke and stop when the Shaft is parallel to the Base line of the Inclined Plane.
  3. Look at the Clubface.
  4. While keeping the Shaft Parallel to the Base Line, bend and unbend your Right Elbow. Notice how the Face of the Clubhead lays against the Inclined Plane as you bend your Elbow and that it becomes once again Vertical to the ground as you unbend your Right Elbow.

Although the Swivel is controlled by the Right Elbow, one should not Bend the Right Elbow or Unbend the Right Elbow. The Bending and Straightening of the Right Elbow is a response to the Check-rein Action of the Left Arm. This way the Rate of Closing and Swivel is controlled and Ball Location can be moved Forward or Aft with predictable results. You see, when you move the Ball Aft to produce a Fade, although the Clubface was open at Separation relative to the Plane Line, the Face become fully Swiveled to Vertical for Impact and one can sustain the line of compression for Horizontal Hinging. So it also goes when Drawing the Ball.

This Swivel is the Rotational Alignment Relationship of the Clubface to the Basic Plane that the Right Forearm Wedge Rotation is associated to (i.e. will Rotate around). In this case, it's the Horizontal Plane (ground).

From here, it becomes more technical so I'll save that if this discussion moves toward Closing Rates of the #3 Accumulator for Sweep vs Snap Releases. Etc.

Anyway, I could be misinterpreting the whole thing.
