Why Finish Swivel?

The Finish Swivel with its Flat Left Wrist -- Visual or Geometric -- enables the Clubhead to complete its On Plane Overtaking of the Hands while maintaining the Rhythm of the Stroke -- the In Line condition of the Left Forearm and Clubshaft. It is integral to the operation of the Golfer's Flail and the Endless Belt Effect (Sketch 2-K #1/#6)

In my experience if you have a pretty sound hitting procedure i see personally no difference in ball flight/distance/etc with a finish swivel.
In swinging i do, hitting no.
Maybe i'm confusing what the finish swivel is. I'll go check

After working on FINISHING SWIVEL and tweaking from vertical to ANGLED HINGING, and employing a slightly flatter downswing plane...
That 160-yard 5-iron chip became a 185 YARD LAZER BEAM that stuck the green and set up a birdie putt!! Granted, I got all of that one...but I expect more of the same.
How sweet it is! Thanks Yoda for the suggestions.

This Chicken has Wings!
Not a challenge for Yoda at all, but a challenge for Bagger which I'm about to overcome. The egg hatched on this subject recently and now it's just a matter of execution.
To avoid the Number One malfunction which is Steering, you must follow the prescription in 3-F-7-A.
Once you have removed steering from your swing, the finish swivel is just a natural recocking of the flat left wrist back up the plane. The roll is a natural result of your hinge action rhythm.
But, none of this is possible unless your right forearm and #3 pressure point are tracing the plane line past impact and into the follow-through. Steering will cause a bent left wrist and throwaway. In my case, the right forearm moves back inside the plane by a few inches (traces inside and left of the plane line) right after impact. The finish swivel becomes distorted. I have a slight chickenwing left arm and an artifical hard roll of the hands to keep the momentum going into the finish.
As soon as I'm cured, I'll post the before and after. Shouldn't take long now that the Chick has hatched.

You more than likely got those extra yards from the better compression of the angled hinge.

Jim,
No doubt, Angled Hinging results in less Clubface Layback (and hence more distance) than does Vertical Hinging. But, that is not the whole story here.
Try this little experiement:
Hit two full shots with a five-iron using Angled Hinging. On the first, stop at the end of the Follow-Through. On the second, complete the Stroke with a Finish Swivel. Determine for yourself which Stroke yielded the greater distance and report back. Thanks!
