Sorry, just noticed the front on view. It shows that Mr. Elkington does indeed have a good shoulder turn on the follow through. Please forgive my ignorance.
So I'm assuming that this is a shot around the green performed by a swinger. Hmmm, how it differ for a hitter? I'm assuming less wrist cock off the takeaway, but what else if anything should be different.
Nice explaination Lynn, most instructors meerly describe his swing as rythmical etc. etc. You have explained why in pointing out the components and variations used to achieve his pattern and their relationships within the stroke.
We would all rather hear this than the garbage tv announcers get away with saying.

I love to watch golf on T.V., but I love it more when it's on MUTE!

Steve plays nearly all chips and pitches with most of the weight on the left foot to ensure a descending blow.
For the higher shots around the green, he uses what he calls the Break and Lock, or the Break/Don’t Break. This method is powered primarily by the shoulders, with a very small hip rotation.
In his words, he breaks or cocks the wrists on the backswing, then powers them forward with the shoulders and hips without uncocking on the downswing or even after the hit. He also maintains that the right hand should never pass the left.
The shoulders in his Break and Lock swing turn a little more parallel to the ground than in the full swing. This gives the club a shallower path and ensures good, crisp contact. (From Five Fundamentals.)
