Yoda said, "this left wrist is your bullet-proof vest..." or something like that.
Long ago, like many others I'm sure, I would rotate my left forearm in imitation of Hogan's 5 Lessons. It always was on plane and sometimes, when I imagined the plane guiding the shot, I could hit two or three shots in a row. That was 15 years ago. I had no guide so I could not repeat the process. Now, thanks to TGM, I think I understand that the rotation of the left hand combined with horizontal or any of the hinges, allows a slightly angled or flat left wrist to act as a shield or insurance for the hitting motion. I believe Yoda said this here:

Orig post by Trig.

"Bagger really showed me to things. One was the feeling of the right wrist at start-up and then also how to fan the club to the top. It feels very strange to me. It feels like I must be opening the clubface wide but when checking the mirror it is dead on plane. I played again today and had my partner watch it and he confirmed it is dead on plane at the top. So I know what that feels like now and will get used to it. I struggled more today with the rolling through impact and pushed many shots right. I suspect it is because I'm not rolling hard enough as Baggger mentioned. I need a lot of work on this, it's all new to my motion."

I believe that there is no need to roll coming down, just hinge. Is that correct?
