Left Wrist Feel Determines Hinge Action -- Or Vice Versa

We don't need the books to know that Hitters using Angle Hinging have a Right Hand Paddle wheel Motion; no independent Hand Motion through the Ball. With Zero Hand Action (no Roll), feel the Primary Lever in Rhythm while being Driven to, through and after Low-Point. Swingers, Swivel the Hands (Secondary Lever) into the Hinge - and Feel the Hinge in the Hands.
Both Hitter and Swinger use Educated Hands to sense and manipulate their respective Hinge Actions (Clubface Control) and Rhythm (in-line #3 Accumulator Clubhead Travel per 2-G).
Specifically, each learns to control the alignment of the Clubface (1-L #4) and the Rhythm of the orbiting Lever Assemblies (1-L #8 ) through the Feel of Roll, No Roll or Reverse Roll.
They accomplish this artform by maintaining the Flat Left Wrist vertical to one of the Three Basic Planes (Horizontal, Angled or Vertical) through Impact.

Yes, yes, yes. I understand. It's upsetting to loose sight of such a simple concept and misquote the book. I'll never be the same.
Each Power Accumulator has a similarly numbered Pressure Point. Swingers primarily concern themselves with the #2's, Hitters with the #1's.
In TGM the left arm is inert Swinging or Hitting via Extensor Action.
Hinge Action is an action of the entire left arm designed to keep the left wrist (the clubface) perpendicular to one of the three basic planes (the ground, a wall, the inclined plane) for clubface/shot shape control.
Words seem so confusing again. Basically Swingers actively uncock their left wrist cock and feel it in the associated pressure point. Hitters actively uncock their right elbows and feel it the associated pressure point. But Lag, "Golf's Secret" is sensed, indeed nursed in its associated pressure point, PP#3.
The pressure points are really what its all about and monitoring them becomes golf concentration in its highest form.
The above should read.........Basically, Swingers via an Automatic or Non Automatic Release uncock their left wrist....................Hitters employ a Non Automatic Release Trigger to uncock their Right Elbows.........
12-2-0 The Basic Pattern for Swinging lists a 10-20-E Wrist Throw and a 10-24-B Non Auto Sweep Release.
OK maybe Daryls right maybe I didnt answer the question directly. If I understand it correctly, Id say:
No, an Active Uncocking of the Left Wrist for the Swinger will not disrupt the Club Path. In fact it will make your clubhead go DOWN and given the Inclined Plane OUT. If you are doing that Actively you will not be going UP or IN, with a bent left wrist most likely. This is the opposite of Steering. So hammer down hard.
And this should read. "No, a Swinger employing a Non Automatic 10-20-E Wrist Throw, for instance, would not disrupt the Club Path. ........"
Twenty-three years after Homer's death, it was Joe Daniels, the owner of TGM and the sole editor of the 7th edition, who moved Hinge Action to Zone 2 (Club Control: Arms/Force/Power).
His justification was that the migration was Homer's intent.
I had a lengthy conversation with Joe a few years ago and pointed out the numerous errors and omissions in the seventh edition. When I asked him why Hinge Action was moved to Zone 2, Joe replied, "because that is what Homer wrote. All changes in the seventh were verbatim from Homer's notes." When I pressed him on were the notes complete. He again said, " the changes were put in as Homer left them". In other words, we will never know the complete answer. But we do know that Mr. Kelley passed way unexpectedly and at the time had not sent his notes to be published into a 7th edition. Draw your own conclusion.
Along the lines of where things are found in the book, I am curious as to why the grip is placed in the arms lane rather than hands lane? I'm sure there is a logical explanation, hearing it may help me remember where to look in the future.
Thanks,
Kevin

I could be wrong. I have been before, and will be again.
This printer's typograhpical error (Imparatives versus Imperativies) occurred in the first printing of the 6th edition. It did not exist in its five predecessors and was corrected in subsequent printings of the 6th.
All this was rendered moot with the publication of the 7th edition and the new title for 6-H-0; namely, Curriculum. Indeed, this title is more fitting, as the journey from the 1st edition to the 6th took its toll on the original presentation.
In the first three editions, the 6-H-0 Imperatives were simply "the three most troublesome features to master." However, in the 3rd edition, these three Imperatives were further described as "Hand Imperatives". No doubt, this was to differentiate them (as a group) from the five "Basic Imperatives" introduced in 2-0 of the 2nd edition (and later expanded into the Three Basic Essentials and Three Basic Imperatives of the 4th and subsequent editions).
Then, beginning with the 4th edition, things took a real turn: Homer Kelley began to use 6-H-0 as a "curriculum" for learning Educated Hands, and he deemed that curriculum "imperative". He maintained the original three Hand Imperatives, but stated them in different words and in a different order. Plus, he added two more items to the list.
The most dramatic change, however, was his use of 6-H-0 to differentiate Hitting and Swinging. Here, he began with six points in the 4th and 5th editions and expanded it to ten in the 6th. The posthumous 7th edition retains those ten items, but now characterizes the curriculum as "indispensable".
Thus, the final references to "imperatives" and "imperative" have been removed from 6-H-0, and the Three Basic Imperatives of 2-0 stand alone.
