As I understand this so far, your Pivot starts your stroke down and initiates several small "rocket booster" type moves that make the club head scream/whoosh with speed. You prepare to roll on the line. You Pivot. You Un-cock the LW on the line using a Throw (several choices including the Sweep which I think is a simple extension of your right arm (not right wrist which is bent) almost at your right/back foot). You have to use a Throw! It fires the FLW /BRW DOWN to Both Arms Straight stopping the FLW from bending since it is too busy rolling via the Finish Swivel to the balanced Finish. This is for Swinging.
The Hitting motion has the Pivot and then a Thrust makes a bunch of things happen at once which I haven't sorted out yet besides the Vertically Uncocking LW, Both Arms Straight and Finish Swivel.
Anyway....there's a start for the week.
I'll have more questions for you later.

Great.
The finish Swivel - is that to avoid steering/blocking or just a means to a nice finish?
At last I went to the golf hall and hit 75 balls with PW, 8 and (2) hybrid. I feel that I haven't used these muscles for a while. Strangely enough (?) I produced the best shots with the hybrid off the deck. Most of them were straight and powerful. Of course I don't know how far they would have gone, it's 80 y to the wall, but it felt ok - and feel from mechanicis is what it's all about !?
Next time I'll try to keep City's points in # 261 in mind as well..

Air,
The club has to overtake the hands after follow through (both arm straight.) You must prepare for this as you don't want it to happen by having the left wrist collapse. Mr. YODA's teaching in this area has been HUGE in my helping others improve. Two wonderful videos.
Look at 12-3-0 MECHANICAL CHECKLIST FOR ALL STROKES
Homer Kelley felt it so important, that not only is finish swivel included in Section 12 - Finish - #41, but in Section 6 - The Top - #22, he asks you to PREPARE for it. DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP.
Please study these. YODA stresses the importance constantly with good reason. 12-3 is a great section of the book that you can study, bring to the range, and use for help when you are not with YODA.

My impressions;
All of the above. After you get past both arms straight you can't do anything but swivel.
If you develope a nice smooth swivel then there is no way to steer or block. A nice smooth swivel is like soft butter. Nothing else is happening. Smooth, coasting.
A good swivel will make you smile before you look at the ball flight.

I've seen these a dusin times before, but I probably haven't understood its importance before. Thx for pointing it out for me.

HaHa, that's exactly how it works for me as well AIR. I need someone to point out what's happening, and it becomes much clearer. I watch these many times and learn something new constantly.

That's why it's great to have you, Bernt, Daryl, City, OB, The Bear and others to help me understand things I hardly would have understood on my own. Not forgetting to mention Yoda of course.
I'm not sure how this fits in with TGM teaching, but I found it interesting to see the 3 different ways to get the club in the slot - especially the third one - the sledge hammer variant. It looks like OTT, but isn't. Tempting...
When Lynn is demonstrating the finish swivel for the swinger, on the impact bag, he is using the left arm.
When that is done with both hands on the club, what is powering the action? Pivot? left arm? right arm? All the above?
I can get that action on a half wedge, but it seems to work best when i add some right arm thrust, but use the left hand and arm to monitor the rolling and uncocking.
I am mixing up some uncompatible components I fear. Would apreciate any clarity that can be provided.
