I am struggling with Clubface Control. What about the Left Wrist is Clubface Control?

Reference:
*…A complete definition can only be the sum of the comments about it (1-H)
* The Machine has three functions--to control the Clubshaft, Clubhead and Clubface (1-L)
* Bending the Left Wrist makes Clubface alignment erratic (2-D-0)
*Direction Control means Clubface alignment control (2-G)
*...the proper horizontal motion of the Clubface controls its alignment during impact………(2-G)
*Some players even intentionally execute Impact as exclusively a Swivel, making Clubface alignment extremely fleeting and erratic (2-G).
*….”Roll” is actually imparted by the turning torso and/or the orbiting Arms (2-G)
*Clubface alignment at Impact Fix must fit the selected Hinge Action (2-J-1)
* The key to control of the Golf Club is Educated Hands (4-0)
* Clubface Motion is Rotational Wrist Motion (4-0)
* Turn and Roll are Rotational Wrist Motions (4-C-0)
* Clubface alignment at Impact is a function of the Hands executing the Clubface Motion--Accumulator #3 (4-D-0)
*Have a clear picture of the Impact Hand Position all the way down--NOT the process of achieving it
(4-D-0).
*..basically, Accumulator #3 Hand Motion is Clubface Control,…..(6-B-3-0)
*..for Impact Clubface alignment control, Hitters should rotate their Grip but not their Plane Line at Address, while Swingers should rotate their Plane but not their Grip (7-2)

Hi Doc,

Been a long time since I delved into TGM, so be gently on my answers.

Just a few thoughts - I think when Homer refers to 'wrist' motion in regards to clubface control, he is referring to a flat left wrist and its rotational movement - not the wrist itself cocking/uncocking. Not sure if that was confusing you.

But my take is essentially this:

If you take your grip at impact fix - and align the flat left wrist with the clubface/leading edge, then the clubface/leading edge will always match the flat left wrist, regardless of selected hinge motion. Again, this assumes a flat left wrist at impact.

Hope this helps.
