Hi all, my name's David and I'm a flipper! There, it's out! Don't like it and trying to change it, but there it is.
Been working diligently. Seen BM's seminal 'Confessions..' video. Fantastic. Read the yellow book, and re-read etc. Scoured this forum and BM's and CE's. Now I think I understand, in theory, what the correct action through the ball should be.
However, as understanding dawns so despair descends. It seems to me now that, as a swinger, the timing of the roll from impact to separation and swivel is just as tricky as timing the flip ever was! (PS I know there are lots of other disadvantages of flipping outside of timing issues). And it seems that although timing the roll correctly produces beautiful shots, mis-timing it has dire consequences that the flip never dreamt of!
Is it simply that since the light bulbs have only just come on I have to give the light chance to fill the room? ie my hands are just at the start of the education process and need to be given time?

Help!
I feel as if there is no timing involved.
Where’s why-
A swinger whirls the clubhead and allows CF to square the club via the pivot. The hands are clamps. But clamps with sensors points- the three pressure points. PP3 traces the plane line which trains the pivot which squares the clubface at impact.
Do the hands roll? Sure- ON PLANE. Start up swivel, a turn to the right (On Plane). The Pivot (lower body) moves the On Plane hands on the Downswing. The pivot turning and the release of acc#2, then #3 ( uncocking and rolling/transfer) while acc#4- the left arm, the Lever and pivot drives to follow through and the end. At no time will the hands move themselves that will allow the left wrist to become bent or the right to straightening before or at impact. When the Left is always Flat and the right remains bent through the ball- a flip will not exist. NO timing needed for the hands. A well trained Pivot- trained and designed by the hands -will need Pace and Rhythm but not the hands alone.
And a Hitter just flat outs dumps the clubhead through the ball to low point with a bend right wrist and a driving right arm.

I'm VERY partical to that one. Homer's greatest hits. Heck- check out the swivel vid, too.

Sure, seen that. Great video. Was part of my education process. However nothing in that vid suggests that the pivot just takes care of it. It suggests to me that you have to uncock and roll with the hands/wrists/forearms. Preparing to do it at the top and doing it from release point to follow through.
Still seems to me that timing is involved. It's a great feeling when you do it right, but....
6bmike - Thanks for your replies, I take the point of not letting the pivot stop and shutting down the highway, I know I have a tendency to allow that to happen, which doesn't help.
Any intent of "flip" or "roll" leads to "throwaway".

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

What you would be practicing there is a Non-Automatic Release . . . once you got that down . . . you can jack it up to an Automatic Snap Release where you your pivot does more.
