However, you say that this action is "Swivel Action". Your definition of "Swivel Action" is the same as Homer's definition of Turning and Rolling. MJ, A swivel IS a rotation. Hold your left hand out in front of you with your palm down. Roll it to palm up. This is a swivel. It is a rotation of the forarm, wrist, and hand. Hinge action is the hand staying VERTICAL to the plane it is hinging on. There is no rotation...the hand stays vertical. I fully understood from the beginning that Swivel is a rotation. My question was concerning the amount and whether it is a direct action or a result of orbiting arms. Hinge Action is a CLUBFACE motion through the Impact Interval.
