TGM imperatives/essentials are magnified. Here is what I have discovered swinging with the left arm only: Flat left wrist - you cannot keep the sweet spot on plane without it or maintain the flail. Law of the Flail - again inconsistent contact without it. The ball will/can go anywhere/nowhere if you break the law of the flail. No left arm chicken wings allowed (sorry 12 Piece). Left hand clubface - Directional control. Plane - single plane swing on the proper angle. Arc of approach - contact the inside of the ball. Hinging/swivel - the difference between hinge and swivel and how the swivel happens after hinge and after contact. Stationary Head - Any bobbing and you are finished. Swaying tough to get back to the ball and make consistent contact. Which leads me to surmise that the left hand/wrist/arm (hinge) is the heart and soul of the golf swing.
