Release Hinging
Daryl, previously you gave us great imagery primer comparing good release hinging vs. bad release swiveling:

"Pick up your range bucket with your right hand. Palm up with the Handle of the Bucket hanging from your fingers. Make sure that the Top of the Bucket is level to the ground. Start with your right arm only, with the bucket hanging from your fingers and the bucket in-line with your right foot, the handle of the bucket should be parallel(close enough) to the plane line and the top of the bucket is level to the ground. Swing the bucket to the left and try to get it close to in-line with your left foot. The top of the bucket should still be level to the ground and the handle of the bucket should now be perpendicular to the plane line.

After you've learned to do the above, then also place your left hand on the bucket handle. Now watch as you move your right forearm so the bucket is near your left foot, that the left hand "Rolls" (the back of the flat left wrist is facing the target). The Flat Left Wrist was facing the plane line and is now facing the Target.

Swiveling is when you start with the top of the bucket level to the ground, but when you swung the bucket to your left until it's in-line with your left foot, the Top of the Bucket becomes perpendicular to the ground. Daryl"

Daryl, I'm determined to get this malady corrected, and I need a point of clarity. When swiveling takes place during the release and our imagery of the bucket is in mind, the Top of the Bucket becomes perpendicular to the ground... Which direction perpendicular? Would the balls spill out forward (down the line), or toward the golfer? TIA David
PS this helps with self-diagnosis.

If you Hand Swivel the Bucket with your right hand you would be looking directly into the bucket and the balls would spill toward you.
