The promise of this instruction is that, on any given stroke, YOU can execute these alignments as well as any pro. And now you know EXACTLY what 'these alignments' are. All of which 'narrows the gap' -- which was our objective in the first place.
P.S. A much higher quality video is on the way soon!
Three Hinge Actions -- Their Clubface Mechanics and Feels
When Ben says "Half Roll" he is referring to the MECHANICS of Angled Hinge Action (Simultaneous Roll and Layback of the Clubface / Half Roll).
When he says "Reverse Roll", he is referring to the FEEL of Vertical Hinge Action (Left Wrist remaining vertical to the Vertical Plane (Wall) of the Stroke) and producing a Layback Only of the Clubface (No Roll or Square).
Obviously, there is a confusion here. The Three Mechanics of Clubface Motion (Full Roll; Half Roll; and No Roll) have their kinesthetic counterparts in their Three Feels (Roll; No Roll; and Reverse Roll). The misidentification of Mechanics and Feels have abided now in popular TGM literature (and commercial products) for the past 25 years, and it is high time it was cleared up. Once and for all:
Horizontal Hinge Action -- Full Roll of the Clubface -- Roll Feel.
Angled Hinge Action -- Half Roll of the Clubface -- No Roll Feel.
Vertical Hinge Action -- No Roll of the Clubface -- Reverse Roll Feel.
