Thanks for the reply.

After I wrote my previous post, I got thinking and went and got his book. He describes the downstroke as the pulling of the club and at the moment of truth to pour it on with the right hand.

To be honest I thought the pictures supported swinging.

I believe these are posed pictures so I am not sure we get a real accurate understanding of the actual stroke but a modified picture of what the golfer positions himself for at times.

Anyway I would submit that the forearm alignment is closer IMO to supporting the secondary assembly.

The length of the back stroke since posed could be restricted but I am not sure that it needs to be any longer to classified as a swinger.

I think the same holds true regarding identifying the 10-3 type since the following frame does not IMO support either. Either there needs to be some elbow bend/right wrist bend or the elbow needs to be a bit more foreward. Frame gives me the impressin that the shaft is vertical to the ground to support 10-3a else it might be 10-3b just not very deep. Too hard for me to tell

I think he is showing a bit of down stroke or float loading, which would explain why the club appears to be more vertical than horizontal at the top.

I am very interested in your comment regarding club face alignment and hinging. I need to do (continue) studying, I wasn't aware that you could identify hinging at the top. This is quite curious to me as you can have any of the hinging in Basic and Acquire Motion without reaching the top. Can you expand on this or point to some more references.
