To me it is the top right knucle that he wanted to control, You can swing to hard and get over active with it from the top or you can get over active with it at the bottom. Hogan's left hand was not as weak as many might think but the right hand was. By moving the right knuckle on top coupled with his layed off lag he could go at it as hard as he wanted and was sure not to come over the top and get over active with the hand. As he pushed the club to the aiming point with the right wrist and right knucle the rotation of the dominant right side squared the arc and the right hand controled the shot.
You for sure have seen that footage of hogan at the dude's house in carribean or wherever that's at? I think he's getting the #3 pressure point . . . fleshy pad between the first two knuckles on the aft side of the shaft. Mr. Hogan's Right Forearm Flying Wedge alignment was impecable . . . so I think he's getting the most support there . . . also swinging on the Elbow Plane he had his right arm working at pretty much 90 degrees to the axis as Mr. Kelley describes the Elbow Plane in the 2nd and 3rd edition. That dude was slap maxing out his physics and his geometry. Also a big piece of keeping the bend in his right wrist was how far forward he went with his hips. I've ordered your book and look forward to reading it.
