Mr. K states, "RELEASE MOTIONS This term refers to the Release of Accumulators #2 and #3. . . . "Uncocking" (4-B-3) and "Roll" (4-C-3) are two separate motions: 1) Wrist Motion and 2) Hand Motion - coordinate but very independent (4-0). . . . Normally, Uncocking is a function of the Wrist actuating the Clubhead (4-B). See 5-0 and 7-11. It has nothing to do with Clubface alignment at Impact - that is the function of the Hands, executing the Clubface Motion (4-C) - Accumulator #3 (2-G)."

Later he states: "The Hitter concentrates on Hand Motion, while the Swinger concentrates on Wrist Motion."

And per 4-C-1 "VERTICAL The wrist is VERTICAL when the back of the Hand would lay flat against a swinging door mounted per the selected Hinge Action, (2-G) with the Shoulder at the Hinge Line."

Why should the Hitter concentrate on Hand Motion? And how should the Hitter do this?

My thoughts.

First, sometimes when we ask these insane questions - I dont know if Homers thought process is in relationship to a 'true' swinger or a 'manipulated hands' swinger.

Anyways...

Why should a hitter concentrate on hand motion? I believe I asked this question to someone and for the life of me cannot remember the response. I am thinking the hitter would concentrate (or as Mike stated, be aware of) hand motion versus wrist motion because the hitters thrust would not result in sequenced release - so conversly, if he 'concentrated' on wrist motion, then he would be concentrating on the left wrist uncocking - a direct conflict with his prescribed release motion as a hitter.

For a swinger, kinda makes sense. Throwout from uncocking left wrist then roll - if you dont uncock, no roll (hypothetically).

Heres the issue with the true swinging comment I made.

A true swinger has no concern for clubface alignment - the face will align same place ever time regardless of grip type. Ball placement, yes, but not clubface. However, the hitter does have a concern because the face will not automatically align - so he has to worry about the face/grip type to a certain extent.

So is Homer talking True or manipulated?

Try to decipher that post. Two perspectives on interpretation.

And I am sure I made no sense. And if I did, then you got major issues.
