Good stuff OB. Hard to say there isn't some intentional "steering" or "holding" the face going on with alot of these guys........especially with short shots, and especially the good ones. And yes, I agree.... I would argue that there isn't a pure swinger or hitter on tour. Some with obvious biases but no one is pushing only, pulling only, using CF only, or muscular thrust only......... IMO

There is for sure. Homers aversion to these things was in regard to total compression. Check out the Pause Minor Basic Stroke for an application of intentional throwaway or intentional "swinging the clubhead". The photo displays Horizontal but imagine what it would look like for Vertical? You'd get the tour flop with the breaking left wrist.
Basically you can undo everything for an intentional loss of compression. A masters level of execution. And something Lynn does by the hour around his practice bunker. He scoots the clubhead under the ball and past the hands , with a flat left wrist or without and hits these little shots that go high and travel a short distance. Over and over. A shot Bobby Jones described as "cutting the legs out from underneath the ball". First you learn the flat left wrist , then you can break it if its really necessary. Of course you can flop it with a flat left wrist too, just saying everything is in play as a tool, or machine adjustment. Everything could conceivably have a possible use. One hand on the club, broken left wrist etc.
