From Corkscrew To Paddlewheel And Throw-Out

Homer Kelley's explanation of the Corkscrew Effect (of the straightening Right Arm) whipping the Hands and Clubhead into their Impact Alignments (Automatic Snap Release / 10-24-E) was maintained through the first three editions of The Golfing Machine.

Beginning with the 4th edition and maintained through the 6th (and last), he eliminated this all-inclusive term and referred instead to Paddlewheel Action (of the Hitter's Uncocking Right Elbow) and Throw-Out Action (of the Swinger's Uncocking Left Wrist). This change allowed differentiation (from Release to Impact) between the Hitter's Single Wrist Action(and its gradual Angled Hinge Rolling per 10-18-C-2) versus the Swinger's Standard Wrist Action (with its Swivel Action per 10-18-A).

In the as yet unpublished 7th edition, 10-24-E was substantially revised. However, the second sentence (referring to the Paddlewheel and Throw-Out Actions) was left unchanged.
