I did and it was very enjoyable. Another little nugget from the Blake mine of G.O.L.Fing Gold.
Thanks, Burner. I've been reading your name -- and each post! -- ever since I started this cyber-journey (on the old Golfing Machine website) in January 2004.
Thanks for reading...and thanks for all your support these past three years.
Thanks Lynn for the time and effort to put that together. It was a long hauler from go to print but we got there. Thanks too for the photographers who did a great job.

Hello Paul Smith,
Thanks for your patience as you pushed this project to, first, bubble up through the myriad of other 'important urgencies' on my end. Then, through its gestation period as we awaited publication on your end.
The Good News:
Despite the 'tyrannies of time' on both ends of the spectrum and on two ends of the world, we got it done.
Yay!
The photos were done at the LBG Academy at Old Waverly, presented with V. J. Trolio at his magnificent club in West Point, Mississippi. The photograher I pressed into service?
As I’ve said, the right forearm and trigger finger control the plane of motion by tracing the baseline of the plane – normally the target line – through impact. The forefinger senses the pressure created by the drag of the lagging club (specifically, the sweetspot), and it directs this lag pressure feel directly toward and along the line. Meanwhile, the left wrist remains perpendicular to the ground. It appears to roll through impact, but it is not independently twisted. Because the left wrist does not swivel – again, it simply remains perpendicular to the ground – the clubface closes uniformly. It does not over-roll and, and unless otherwise intended, it does not lay back. So, control of the clubhead orbit and lag pressure is a right hand function. Control of the clubface is a left hand function.
Perpendicular to the ground? Isn't that only with vertical hinging?
Perpendicular to the ground? Isn't that only with vertical hinging?
No, I was referring to Horizontal Hinging, the "Ideal Application" (of Linear Force) and its "perfect vector alignments" (2-C-1). Here the Left Wrist is held perpendicular, i.e., Vertical (neither Turned nor Rolled) to the horizontal plane, e.g., the ground, through Impact, thereby imparting an identical, 'Closing only' motion to the Clubface.
Alternatively, with Vertical Hinging, the Left Wrist is held perpendicular to the vertical plane, e.g., a wall, thereby imparting a Layback motion to the Clubface. This Action tends to disturb the original contact point of Clubface and Ball and results in a loss of Compression.
