Left Hand
I was familiar with the swivel video clip but have replayed it repeatedly. Is there a book reference that you would emphasize or add to my list? Also, it was observed that the course outline for the Las Vegas Academy included "Hitting (drive out) Vs Swinging (throw out).

Thanks for the response.

Flailing Around
Doc,

Study the function of the Flail in 2-K.
I didn't see that on your list.

As you've read in 2-G the clubface mirrors the rolling (or non-rolling) flat left wrist through impact.

In that respect you don't need to monitor the clubface, but rather the hand motion.

Hinge Action
In Hinge Action Part 1 in the Gallery Yoda says the primary hinge controls the face. I am now reviewing Chapter 2 of the Archives.

The function of the machine.
The Machine has only one function--to execute the program.

Bending the Left Wrist is part of the vertical hinging.

Direction Control means Clubface and/or stance alignment control .

….”Roll” is actually imparted by the inertia of the club and turning torso and/or the orbiting Arms.

The key to control of the Golf Club is Newton's Laws of Motion.

Clubface Motion is Rotational Wrist Motion and forearm motion.

Turn and Roll are Rotational Wrist Motions and forearm motions.

Have a clear picture of the finish Position all the way down and up and back--NOT the process of achieving it.

..basically, the inertia of the club is Clubface Control,…..

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

Just a few corrections.
The left wrist never bends. Its motion is to cock and uncock only. Vertical Hinging does not include a bent left wrist.

Direction control means clubface alignment control per the left wrist. 1-L-C. The clubface controls the direction and can either be open, square, or closed to the plane line. Through impact the clubface can close, hood, or layback. Hooding is not an effective alternative which leaves closing and layback.

Singular or combinations of those two motions correspond to the three hinge actions; That is "Closing" without "Lay-back." (Horizontal Hinge) (10-10-D) "Lay-back" without "Closing" (Vertical Hinge) (10-10-E) and simultaneous "Closing" and "Lay-back" (Angled Hinge) (10-10-C).

Stance is just one of many elements that assist in direction, but is not at all mandatory.

Based on the context of your response, using inertia ALONE for clubface control is a Pivot Controlled Hands procedure. It's not something we recommend here primarily because Homer said it was an inferior procedure.

Please clarify for me if I'm mistaken about what you teach.

Sorry, that's not what I use and teach. And, again, mine is "LAG-controlled-pivot".

Things can get out of control, if wrong things get controlled.

Bending the Left Wrist can be a procedure though if you use it intentionally . . . and it can be DEADLY.

Keep in mind that the right forearm and elbow are the 'guide' in terms of any 'rotational' motion.

That is to say, swivel (startup and finish swivel) are not the same as hinge action.

Depending on the components used, hinge action may 'feel' like one smooth, constant swivel/rotation - but ALWAYS with the straightening right arm (with a bent right wrist) being the 'gatekeeper' for your Rhythm and rate of clubface closing.

Drill taking the club back to about hip high, flying wedges in place, and slowly straighten the right arm towards your impact fix hand location. You'll see that if the right forearm, the angle of approach, is correct, that the rate of clubface closing isn't a constant swivel action, even if it feels that way in some procedures (a true 'swing' with its throw out).
