Well, as an archive there is a lot of valuable stuff to look into, but it's not what it used to be as a forum - that's for sure... At least you enjoyed being here since 2005 - I joined in 2010 and didn't have more than a couple of years before things started to change...

Hopefully some knowleadgeable people will still post or anyone at all. Air air answered your question on the money. Im still trying to make a career out of the principles in the book. There are countless gems of posts by lynn and others that i think have are important to save for the sake of tgm

Swiveling
 

I interpret Jerry's question to reveal an important issue.

Context.


Jerry - from a mechanical perspective - swinging would generally have a sequenced release as opposed to the hitters simultaneous release. As Daryl states - two distinct motions as measured from a 3rd person perspective - i.e. camera.

From the player's perspective - 1st person perspective - that would not necessarily be the case. And unless you slice and dice this subject up I would go as far to say that it shouldn't be the case that you would sense/feel two distinct motions.

I think it's an important distinction to understand and it is a huge area of study to fully elaborate that point.

Agree, agree, Agree, yes, yes, yes
My personal thinking is there are several, all difficult, ways to explain.
The easiest is :
Think hinge, think Dual Horizontal, sequenced, #2 release vertical, #3 release horizontal The face is squared by the flat VERTICAL left wrist.
Think about it!

I should be clearer- and said the same "type" of motion as the dual horizontal hinge -

[*]The On-Plane Right Forearm Wedge Swivels the Left Hand.[/list][/quote]


can someone explain this?

Probably not- but let me try. The 2 flying wedges are linked together at a 90 degree angle. A swinger who as had a start up swivel, must also have a release swivel. Since the flying wedges work i tandem, what the left hand does the right hand will react to - to maintain the flying wedges structure - and visa versa (which you are asking about?).
Forget it...

Take an address position with no club, your right hand holding your left thumb. Bend the right arm with an inert left arm but Extensor Action: it brings the left arm across the chest but at the same time the entire left arm rotates at the shoulder socket (Swivel). The same happens in the dowsnwing when the right arm straightening (actively or passively) will rotate the left arm back. Try different right elbow positions to see how it affects the left arm rotation.
