Backswing and Hinge Action

[Thom]

They both get to the same position. The Swinger just gets there sooner with the Start Up Swivel.

So the difference is the start up swivel.

[drewitgolf]

The Swinger Swivels his left palm to the Plane right away. The Hitter gradually turns the left palm to the Plane.

On the way down, the Swingers makes a karate chop motion down the Plane, a Swivel at Release followed by Hinge Action followed by a Finish Swivel.

The Hitter that gradually turned his palm to the Plane will gradually roll on the way down followed by Hinge Action and a Finish Swivel.

My question were: Are the difference between 10-18-A and 10-18-C-1 the start-up-swivel vs. gradual turning with the hinge action?

Sorry Thom,

In my haste to answer, I compared 10-18-A to 10-18-C-2, instead of 10-18-C-1. But to answer your question, you are correct.

Mr. Kelley revised 10-18-C for the sixth edition. In fact if you substitute (last line) NO HAND MOVEMENT for NO HAND MOTION during the Stroke, it may make more sense. 10-18-C-2 does not involve deliberately Turning your Wrists to the Plane in Start Up like Standard Wrist Action.

How does a hitter go back with angled hinging and get on plane without swiveling the left wrist ? Seems like you would have to lean your body way back to accomplish that which is not the case.. What is the differenc between swiveling and turning or rolling ??
