Karate Chops And Barrel Rolls

Think about the bent back right wrist doing a karate chop motion with the right palm face up to the inclined plane.
The Swinger Loads the Left Wrist and Triggers centrifugually the Sequenced Release of the Left Wrist and Hand. Hence the 'Left Hand Karate Chop' (Palm down to the Plane) followed by the Left Hand Swivel.

The Hitter Loads the Right Elbow and Triggers muscularly the Simultaneous Release of the Left Wrist and Hand. Hence, there is no Left Hand Karate Chop Motion nor any Left Hand Swivel. Instead, driven by the straightening Right Arm, the Left Wrist Uncocks as the Left Hand Rolls. In this manner, the Left Palm immediately begins its return from its On Plane alignment at the Top to its Vertical alignment at Impact.
