I believe there seems to be a misconception that the Left Hand should be Turned 'On Plane' for Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A). I haven't got the book with me, but I don't think Homer ever mentions Turning the Left Hand On Plane. All he says is that it should be Turned.
Another one I hear a lot is that the Left Hand should be rotated a quater turn / 90 degrees. I don't think Homer ever says that either.
How much should the Left Wrist Turn (for the Swinger)? Anyone got an answer
Per 4-C-2:
"When Turned...the left palm faces directly toward that [selected] Plane."
Per 10-11-0-3:
The quarter turn rotation you mention refers not to the Left Hand, but to the Right Hand and its #3 Pressure Point (meaty part of the right forefinger). And that does not refer to an actual rotation of the Hand, but merely the rotation of the pressure point pressure (from the back to the top of the Clubshaft) during an End Backstroke.

A detailed explanation... with picture... of Left Wrist Turn, and Right Forearm Fanning would probably be helpful. Showing Standard, Single, and Double Wrist Action would be even better!

The explanations and photos are all there in 10-18. Just remember that photos 10-18-C and 10-18-D should be reversed.
Also, study the "Useful Combinations" (photos 5-A/B/C/D).
As I look at 5-C-2 (the Right Wrist Conditions complementing the Left Wrist's Flat, Cocked and Turned Conditions) I am taken back 24 years. When I began my study of The Golfing Machine® in 1979, the book's complementing Right Wrist Conditions were identical to those of the Left, i.e., Flat, Turned and Cocked. By 1981, I had come to understand the Right Forearm Flying Wedge, and clearly, a Cocked Right Wrist destroys that structure. Plus, the photo did not seem to show the Wrist as Cocked. So, I telephoned Homer -- by this time he had gotten used to these calls! -- and asked about it. After a brief pause, he answered, "You're right. It should be Level, not Cocked."

Yes Mr. Yoda... those pictures are in the book. I was talking about some NEW pictures if possible, that also show the CLUBFACE. 10-18-A and 10-18-D(which should be C), for example, look about the same to me.
Also, an explanation of RIGHT FOREARM FANNING, as differentiated from LEFT WRIST TURNING would be good. I remember an excellent post you did some time ago explaning their separate identities. I believe you described how Miller Barber actually FANNED on the DOWNSWING.
