GM is using a Horizontal Hinge and tracing the Angle of Approach at Impact which adds ADD LAYBACK to the Horizontal Hinge. He's a big time Angled Hinge Machine until he uses a Full Swing, which he then traces the Arc of Approach.
His Hand Alignments on short swings are partly the result of tracing the Angle of Approach. But ONLY partly. Mostly, it results from GM relocating Low-Point Forward of his Left Shoulder.
Essentially, he's playing the Ball back in his stance but shifting the Clubhead Orbit Forward. Watch him narrow his stance, so that his Hands won't arrive at the Right Forearm Angle of Approach Alignment until forward of his Left Shoulder. Arched Left Wrist with Dead Hands is a "Dead Giveaway" to using this procedure.
With his "Dead Hands" outlook, he finishes with the shaft at Low-Point geometry. Watch for the exact moment his Clubshaft becomes Vertical to the ground. Shows just How Forward he re-located Low Point.
I'm sure he does this intentionally to demonstrate that the Hands should only work as "simple clamps". Yet he's using a geometry that he doesn't set up for his students. Hmm?

Narrow stance= shifting Low Point Forward (I knew that, thanks D!)
Tracing Angle of Approach=Layback added to Horizontal Horizontal (I knew that, thanks D!)
Dead Hands-I know this is what GM strives for-Lynn showed me this too, I need another visit after Chicago/Wisconsin/MN-when done the right way, the ball is "hammered" and feels to have maximum Bent Right Wrist, just like the Bucket Drill, D! Very nice

OB, good to see you/read you!
