You need to understand the differences between the standard swinger's swing (ala Tiger Woods or Anthony Kim) and the Hardy OPS swing. In the standard swing, there is a takeaway swivel action that gets the club toe to be straight-up at the end of the takeaway. Then there has to a release swivel action to reverse the process. By contrast, a Hardy OPS golfer keeps the clubface facing the ball during the takeaway and there is no start up swivel action. Their clubface is relatively closed to the clubhead arc throughout the swing. Therefore, during the downswing, there is no release swivel action - PA#3 doesn't have to rotate that much into impact because the clubface is closed to the clubhead arc during the downswing. In that sense, they are similar to hitters - who does not incorporate a startup swivel action and release swivel action in their swing pattern.

Pretty much the difference between Single Wrist Action and Standard Wrist Action . . . .



10-18-A STANDARD With this procedure with Wrist is Turned and Cocked (FCT) during the Backstroke which requires that it be Rolled and Uncocked during the Release. Only where this procedure is used, do the Hands “Swivel” into Hinge Action Position. Study 4-D-0.

LEFT WRIST ACTION

10-18-B DOUBLE This procedure is identical to –A above (Standard ) except that the Left Wrist is in a Double Cocked position (Cocked and Bent). It is restricted to true Centrifugal Force Swings (6-B-3) because its reverse rotation during Release – return to the Flat and Vertical Left Wrist – inhibits Clubhead Throwaway.

10-18-C SINGLE Here, the Left Wrist is Cocked but not Turned. The Action has three alternative procedures:
1. Let the Pivot bring Horizontal Hinging to a normal On Plane “Top” position.
2. Let the Pivot bring Angled Hinging to a normal On Plane “Top” postion.
3. Hold the Wrist – “Vertical” throughout for a True Single Action “Top” position.
Because there is actually NO HAND MOTION during the Stroke, the Clubhead Fix alignment remains undisturbed.



Looks like this cat has single wrist action going on all the tops look pretty much the same unless there is some arching or double cocking going on.
