The author emphasizes the need to have the palms horizontal to the ground
at the top so that during the downswing the hands will drop more easily into "the slot." I can even see how this would add a lot of power accumulator 3(?-rolling of the forearms), but I thought the palms were supposed to be on the plane, and the end of the club closest to the ball was supposed to point at the plane line/target line. The two here seem incompatible, remembering that not everybody can get the club parallel to the plane line at the top.
Anybody tried Gerry Hogan's shaft the nunchuk? What did you think?
Homer liked his shafts as stiff as possible. Knudson liked them as stiff as was absolutely possible, super heavy at the head and counter balanced back to a normal swing weight. Kev Carter has gone back to x stiff, Bucket likes triple x movies.
While the underlined text on pgs 27 and 28 can work, to say you must do this is patently false. Much better to say the palms should lie in the plane of the LFW.

Hey Joe
Know what you mean. You'd assume that given the definition of the LAFW. But wouldnt it be better to say the palms lie flat to the Inclined Plane at Top? (Assuming a 10-2-B grip) Which would give you a cup at the left wrist unless the inclined plane runs through the Turned Left Shoulder.
Thanks Justin. The Hogan Book is an excellent read. I have the book and recomend it to any seriuos student of the game. Unfortunately, the first few chapters did not print in your attachment. They have quite a bit of Homer Kelley in them: "the human body in motion is a mechanic apparatus" and Hogan's explanation of Hand Control Pivot hits the nail on the head, "what you intend to do with the hands dictates where and how the arms move".

Hi OB,
You're probably right, I have a literally flat wrist at the top and forgot that many do not!
