I can understand the followthrough hinging actions as being due to a variable degree of external humeral rotation happening at left shoulder socket level, and I can conceptualize the biomechanical process.

However, what is happening biomechanically if hinging actions are actually occurring during the backswing?

Jeff.

Could be wrong about this but . . . . I think Homer's thinking was . . . as she goes back she comes down . .. not sure though.

There are plenty of mix and matchers though . . . generally standard wrist action is for the swinger . .. but Nicklaus was as single wrist action swinger I believe.

Not sure about the biomechanics of it all . . . . but I prefer more of a "quiet" face . . . . but many times the grip, how the face is set at address/fix and the intended trajectory/shape can dictate the required hand motions.

Example . . . .Lee Trevino type set up with the shaft leaning and face looking left would have to get more lean in order to have the face open enough not to hook it between his legs. So lots of it has to do with how you have the face and where you want the ball to start out. Dudes with shutty faces can't do too much standard wrist action . . . or at least ones that you've actually heard of . . .
