Bucket... great post, I'm still trying to digest it all. This is a section of the book that I don't think I've ever totally comprehended, yet one that seems very important. I find it to be an area of TGM that gives me "tired head" and I have a hard time taking it all in.
My incubator runs a little slow sometimes... I'd love to see some video, pics, and/or diagrams to go along with the words here.

Basically it boils down to this . . .
The #3 Accumulator is the angle set between your left arm and clubshaft. You make it when you grip the club. The #3 angle is set when your left wrist is flat AND LEVEL. So if you put the club in the CUP of your left hand #3 is zero. If you grip it under the heel pad you have established the angle. More is not always better in this regard. Just a little under the heel pad is fine.
The #3 Accumulator is STATIC or tries to be. You want to ROLL that angle through impact as you employ your hinging.
But the Right Forearm can SUPPORT the Rolling of #3 or DESTROY it. So that is why it is important to have your right forearm come back to its On-Plane position at Fix.
If it comes in too high . . . #3 will be compromised. You will not have that angle to roll through the ball and your Left Wrist will be Uncocked and not LEVEL as it should be at Impact. Power and precision are sacrified.

Got it.... and if employing hitting with angled hinging, it will feel as if there is no roll of #3 through impact to follow-through?
You got it! Angled Hinging is a no roll feel. Go watch the Address videos . . . the one where Teddy Knucklesamich talks about his 2 x 4 . . . as a Hitter that is indespensible to your progress in weilding Single Wrist Action. Beautiful VOILENCE!!!
You know it is interesting . . . you got Teddy Smackdown who is good sized boy as a Hitter . . . and then you got lil' ole Homer Kelley looking like Elmer Fudd and Mr. Magoo had a baby who is also a selfdescribed Hitting afficionado (sp?).
You don't have to have a Bruce Banner type tricep to get'r'done. There is more power in ALIGNMENTS as Mr. Kelley said than pure brute force. And the Hitter is dependent SOLELY on his Alignments.
I been Swinging exclusively but I may need to jump up in the squared-circle for a few PUNCH BASIC beatdowns.
