Research Subjects
I think Mr Kelley in these comments provided much in terms of research subjects. Also, I had not previously noticed that Transfer Power is not include as one of the Chapter 8 sections.

DRW

*Address….with the left wrist flat (not bent either way)………clubhead feel against the first joint of the right forefinger. This is not a clubshaft "feel" but the sensing of the longitudinal center of gravity (sweet spot plane of rotation).
*Backstroke…….the shoulder turn is as flat as possible and independent of the takeaway action.
*The Top……..The shoulder turn function here is to place the right shoulder precisely on the inclined plane. Therefore it is mandatory that the steeper the plane the shorter the shoulder turn …
*Start Down……so body power (the coiled left side) then can pull the butt of the clubshaft and the right shoulder toward the plane line …
*Down Stroke….A common present-day misconception is surfacing here. That is, a partial, preliminary weight shift through knee motion instead of hip motion
*Release Point….a true horizontal hinging motion (like a swinging door) ……... Only this hinging can produce the consistent power of true rhythm.
*Release Interval….The ideal #3 accumulator (the angle formed by the left arm and the clubshaft) application shown here is the true high velocity clubhead motion overtaking the left arm and is true rhythm, entirely different from and independent of pace.
*Impact……The magical right forearm is again on plane ……. The right wrist shows slightly more bend than at address. Therefore there is a deviation in left wrist flatness, though not visibly perceptible….
*Follow-Through…by reducing shoulder turn the hands can be automatically stopped at any selected point -- no more double impact putts -- by prepositioning the shoulders with the club at the desired limit point.
*Transfer Power……Swivelling is a true rotation of the hands -- not the closing motion of the flat and vertical left wrist performing the hinge action. Therefore, the right hand rolls over the top of the left wrist.
*The Finish…….Hackers have both an inadequate follow-through and an artificial finish. The finish has the rank of a station in the Star System Triad for simplified golfing but impact does not. Endowing impact with improper importance and attention has caused players to "chop" at the ball and has been producing hackers for centuries. … After the follow-through, this is the second great step out of Hackerville.
