Each hinge action is unique. There are many ways to maintain a flat left wrist through impact. Each procedure will make a difference as to how CF will impose forces on your hands that can potentially ruin your rhythm. That's only in the down stroke. The upstroke has it's challenges to. It is no coincidence that newbeginners vary between no release and a flip. It is because they haven't learned to monitor and enforce the rhythm. ENFORCE.

I don't see anything wrong in what you state here, Daryl. And besides, you know parts of this much better than I do. I am not sure if you understand them better than me whenever I take a close look, but you certainly know them better.

But I think you're missing the mark. You insist that rhythm means similar RPM for club and arm. If that were a fact, maintaining rhythm would simply be a matter of correct sequencing in the pivot. And then you proceed by explaining a number of alignments that is needed to maintain rhythm. None of them would be critical if your definition of rhythm was correct.

If the clubhead and the hands had the same RPM the need to monitor the hands would be reduced significantly. You might as well monitor the clubhead then. The left elbow and the left hand travels on the same RPM. That's the reason there's no need to monitor the left elbow.

The golf stroke would be a lot simpler than it is if the club and the arms had the same RPM throughout. It would be like the relationship between your left elbow and your left hand. But the golf stroke would be a lot shorter too, and golf would be a lot less exiting if it were that simple. But it isn't so why not set the record straight? Why not put some content into Homer's differentiation between same RPM and same basic RPM?
