Endless Belt for me. I don't think I'll EVER get that.
I could care less today however. I just bought myself a brand new RXV! I think I'll just stare at it for a few days before I ride it. Me in love........
Mine would be the FLAT left wrist and the Inline conditions. Geometrically FLAT left wrist .. Very heavily misunderstood topic.
And Hitting/swinging. Guess what, i still don't really understand it .
The flat left wrist from a geometric stand point is an alignment with the LEFT ARM. The left wrist is basically the "fulcrum". So from a geometric stand point you want the shaft to be IN LINE with your left arm. So stick a bicycle spoke or cut off coat hanger or something in the butt . . . . of your club . Put your hand on the club with different grip strengths. Notice how the more turned your left hand is the more you have to BEND AND COCK to keep the shaft in line with your left arm. So basically it is the shaft and the left arm being in line that defines the geometrically flat left wrist.
So with a 10-2-B grip you could have a "visually" flat left wrist AND a GEOMETRICALLY flat left wrist. As you turn your hand on the club your wrist must cock and bend to keep the shaft in line with the arm. So you are geometrically flat but NOT VISUALLY FLAT.
So the BASIS OF THE FLAT LEFT WRIST IS IN THE LAW OF THE FLAIL . . . so folks got different flails than others . . .
2-K . . . Compare the Primary Lever Assembly (6-A-2) with the common flail. While the “swingle” is seeking its “in-line” (full extension ) relation with the “handle” (catching up) there is “Centrifugal Acceleration.” When it becomes “in-line” (caught up) this settles into “Centrifugal (Angular) Momentum” (Full Extension). If it passes its “in-line” relation, it again seeks its “in-line” relation (backs up) and “Centrifugal Deceleration” sets in with a huge power loss. These three phases demonstrate what is termed herein “The Law of the Flail” – the Swingers primary concern.
If thrust is applied only to the Left Arm (Handle), the Clubshaft (Swingle) will perform more like a Rope Handle (rising Clubhead pull), but if prestressed by Clubhead Lag Pressure Point pressure, more like an Axe Handle (steady Clubhead Inertia). However, the Primary Lever Assembly is only somewhat flail like. That is, it is bolted together as with a hinge pin, rather than tied together with a thong, so that it can only be “Cocked” and/or “Rotated” per 4-B and 4-C and cannot pass the “Handle” (4-A-2) while moving toward full extension per 2-P. This insures the Imperative Flat Left Wrist (1-L, 2-0). Study 2-F, 6-F-0 and 10-19. As with the standard flail, the true and proper direction for its mass to move is “downward On Plane” regardless of the incidental appearance of moving “forward On Plane.” Always from the Top. This is indispensable for both Hitters and Swingers for inhibiting Clubhead Throwaway
So look at Couples Turned Left Hand right . . . his Flail is more THONGY . . .. watch him get his thong on . . . but he still satisfies the Law of the Flail even though his wrist bends to keep the shaft in line. True thongy swinging . . .
Geometrically Flat but NOT VISUALLY FLAT
See the wrist is bending and cocking but the shaft still maintains the relationship to the left arm
VISAULLY FLAT AND GEOMETRICALLY FLAT . . .
Ok . . . Hitting and Swinging . . . Homer said is just . . . . PUSHING vs. PULLING. That's it. Notice the quote from 2-K that is in red above . . .

Not to get off topic ...but do I also see a difference in the right wrist at the top...does Freddy have some right wrist cocking and less bend...whereas Tiger has lots of right wrist bending & no cocking. Are the two related to the left wrist position on the grip.

Not sure that it's cocking . .. maybe it is but his right forearm is definitely ROLLED at the top which shoots the club across the line.
For me, extensor action is difficult to take from words on a page to implementation. If I try to foucs on it by applying pressure througout the motion it adds too much tension to my hands, wrists, and motion.
I try to keep width and structure in my swing but I have to do it without tension. In other words, if my right hand were to come off the the club at the top, my right arm wouldn't immediately straighten out because I'm not apply that kind of pressure.
Similarly, I find it difficult to treat my left arm as a rope. If I try to apply that literally, it feels like I'm swinging with one arm.
I have to moderate how I apply these for best results.
. Put your hand on the club with different grip strengths. Notice how the more turned your left hand is the more you have to BEND AND COCK to keep the shaft in line with your left arm. So basically it is the shaft and the left arm being in line that defines the geometrically flat left wrist.
