Sadlowski has figured it out about half way through is the slow motion. When you come down that steeply you had better have total control of you hinge motion.

Great swing - great motion!
I like the way his left wrist is bent well into the downswing..but the clubface is turned to the plane and the sweetspot appears to be on plane.
The left wrist in a swinger is subordinate to the physics of swinging....bent when it needs to be to max out his late wrist uncock and still be on plane... but flat when it must be!
Would love to hear what he feels in his PP3 if he were to "tune into" its wavelength!
Any advice on how to use this (monitoring clubhead feel) without focusing so much on the head that you risk throwing the head?
Focus your attention on the #3PP not your eyes on the clubhead.
For whatever it may be worth here is how I start every warmup on the range (with this subject in mind.)
1. Little acquired motion chip shots with a wedge and just my right hand on the club. You will find that with the right wrist frozen and the RFFW on plane that the bad shots are differentiated from the good by one thing: The lack of #3PP lag pressure. Dont watch the club just think about the #3PP. I sort of walk around hitting random balls continuously, not too much stopping or thinking. Its amazing how easy this is to do and the shots are delightfully pure. Mine is a journey of trying to get this feeling all the way through the bag with two hands on the club. It was this one armed frozen right wrist thing that started my TGM journey in an effort to unlock its secrets and understand its associated fantastic feeling. I knew only of the bent wrist but now know most of the rest of it thanks to Yoda.
2. With the right hands singular job now over I attach the left hand to the grip but let the right hand sort of instruct or direct as to hand position in fix, club path to both arms straight etc. I find that once the left is attached the path problems can start and extensor action , extension becomes problematic and in need of special attention. This is still for me very similar in every aspect to the right hand only procedure but with the passive left arm attached to the grip and serving as a checkrein or rope only. Albeit it with extensor action keeping it taught. My right shoulder moves the club back and thru with rethym maintained (the right shoulder, hands and clubhead moving at the same rpms, different surface speeds)
3. Loosen up with 3/4 wedges and then go back to basic and acquired short shots to wake up the machines precision functions.
Sorry for the extra dialogue but hope this helps. If throwaway is a real problem some eyes closed ,no ball, chipping swings can really help you feel the right wrist straightening and loss of PP#3 pressure. The hands are just clamps and with extensor action turned on they dont really have an assignment other than to hang on to the club and send sensory messages back to the brain.
Correct me if I am wrong on any of this. That is why I am here.

Yes! So does Bubba Watson who can get upwards of 5 degrees angle of attack (when he's really trying to launch one) according to trackman newsletter (forget which one). So does Alexis Thompson http://www.alexis-thompson.com/ who was youngest to qualify for the US open in 2007 (13 yo)
