[Yoda]

Philly,

Do you find the swivel to be a left hand action or a right hand action. I'm using my left.
The drill Yoda had us do, the slapping of the left hand by the right, gave a wonderful feel of the swivel but lead me to think the right hand might being producing it. Thoughts?

Always remember that the express purpose of this drill -- done without a Club -- is to isolate and coordinate the respective functions of the two Hands: Right Hand...Clubhead. Left Hand...Clubface.

The Left Wrist is positioned in its Flat, Level and Vertical Impact Alignment. It remains at all times within a few inches of this location. Its only function is to Turn a bit to the right on the Backstroke and Roll a bit to the left on the Downstroke. Meanwhile, the Right Forearm is 'brushing' by the Left Hand with the Right Forefinger Tracing the Plane Line. Do not slap the Left Hand with the Right or in any way interfere with the Right Hand's passage by the Left. The Feel of the Right Hand Overtaking the Left (and of the Hands by the Clubhead) -- all without breaking down the Flat Left Wrist -- is the whole point of this drill.

As the Right Forearm and Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point brush above the Left Hand through 'Impact,' the Left Hand simply 'Closes the door' with a Roll. This 'Closing' Motion of the Flat Left Wrist is felt in the Left Forearm. It can be practiced as both a Hinge Action and as a Swivel Action.

The drill should be executed in continuous motion, i.e., the Right Forearm swings back and through and back and through continuously. Again, the Left Arm simply remains in its Impact Location as the Left Wrist Turns and Rolls (from the Left Forearm) in sync with the passing Right Forearm.

The benefit of this drill is that it trains independently but coordinately:

(1) The Right Hand and Forearm to sense Clubhead Lag Pressure and Trace the Plane Line, thus controlling the Clubhead and its Line of Flight through the Ball;

(2) The Left Hand to Hinge and Swivel, thus controlling the Clubface and the Rhythm of the Stroke, i.e., the Clubhead Overtaking of the Hands during the Impact Interval (from Release to Finish Swivel).

Do not allow the simplicity of this drill to cause you to underestimate its importance. It has the potential to do nothing less than revolutionize your Golf Stroke and with it, your entire Game.
