YODA ,Swivel is classed as hand motion ,but since the Old Waverly class where you spent so much time on my swivel(without finding it )I have since been "practising".I can feel the swivel much better if I think of my shoulder as a ball joint-no concious manipulation just thinking during prctice swing and start down waggle seems to work -If practice translates into play then I am almost playing "out there'-as apposed to "in here"!Any thoughts?
So would you recommend maintaining the flat left wrist all the way through to the finish? Isn't there a natural tendency for the left wrist to bend once the shaft is back on the plane after impact?

The hitting reflex can indeed be called "natural" since most people have a hard time avoiding it. What it does is ADDING with the right, causing the left wrist to bend.
In this case "nature" has to be fought. Nothing strange in that. We fight temptations every day. When nature calls...

Initially I had a serious problem mixing vertical and horizontal hinge. Let's say you'd be assingned the task of mouting a small door for the dog to be able to enter and exit the house. You'd call the owner and ask him whether he wanted the hinges vertical or horizontal. Might be a language thang, but I tend to think that most people wanting the hinges along the top frame of the door post would say: Mount them horizontally.
- You mean "horizontal hinge"?
- Yes!
- I.e. same as "vertical hinge" in TGM?
- Waitaminute....
I can easily live with it, but I sometimes find it confusing.

how i remember it is that HK was talking about Hinge Action which is perpendicular to the mounting of the Hinge Pin.

Thanks. Good enough.

I believe that the hinge action is not just a concept of through the ball (impact to followthrough) but also the motion of the entire left arm through the entire stroke (I would love Lynns input on this to know if I'm correct on this). Looking at the structure of the flail in 2k and when that flail is attached to the hinge arrangement in 1-L - the back of the upper arm stays flat on the hinge as the forearm or swivel goes from its vertical condition to a turned condition yet the upper arm is still vertical to its hinge action plane - on the downstroke you turn the hand back to its vertical condition for impact to align the clubface back to its impact condition and the motion of the entire left arm that hits the ball as if it where one big hockey stick...lol. Another reason I think this is because it is a component meaning it is 'a part' of a mechanical complex.
...for these two visuals. My lament , past, present and probably future, is that TGM, for us VISUAL LEARNERS, is impossible to comprehend. However, when I can WATCH what you posted there, light bulbs are going on all over the place! What really needs to be done is a VIDEO of the most important concepts from each chapter of the book. That would be an advancement in golf instruction beyond anything anyone has ever accomplished or imagined.

Been done by Paul Hart (GSED) and hopefully soon by Lynn Blake...that's the one I'm anxiously waiting for.
I'm sure the fog is lifting big time out there.
