Move that assembly into Impact Alignment without "flashing" your Right Hand (Impact in the Turned Alignment). Notice the Clubface remains stable as it closes (Toe passing heel) and very important, please notice that your right Forearm is aligned on the Angle of Approach when the Clubhead reaches Impact.

When your Right Forearm at Impact has reached the Angle of Approach, it's On-Plane and if you were to attach a dowel rod to your Right Forearm it would Point to the Plane line about 15 yards ahead of the Ball while on the TSP and about 5 yards ahead of the Ball if you used the Elbow Plane. (depends on Club Length)

This causes the Clubface to "Close Only" through Impact. If you consistently (persistently) hit Push Shots, it's because you haven't closed the Clubface, which is because your Right Forearm hasn't reached the Angle of Approach, which is because ........of the many possible reasons, it's most likely that you don't know what you should be trying to do. Once you understand what you're trying to do, it's pretty easy to do it.

Don't think that because you brought a "Turned Right Wrist and Right Arm Flying Wedge" into Impact that you haven't "Rolled". You have Rolled! You've "Rolled" around an Axis perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane. And, your Left Forearm Flying Wedge will Roll about the Hinge because of your Flat Left Wrist.

Using the above procedure will allow (Force) your Left Wrist to remain Vertical to the Horizontal Plane through the Impact Interval. And, Very Stable....without flashing your Hands.
I will be dissecting this later. Thanks, D! Everyone.
