I have a question about Sean O' Hair's hinge action. Just before the followthrough is complete (arms both fully extended) his left wrist swivels around to the left in an abrupt horizontal hinging-type action. This hinging action doesn't seem to occur as a result of a hinge action at shoulder socket level or body torso turning level. Is this abrupt left wrist rolling action normal and/or desirable?
Secondly, I note that he doesn't fold his left elbow after the followthrough, and I thought that a standard finish swivel action requires more folding/bending of the left elbow. Is that assumption incorrect?

I agree - he seems to be executing hinge as a swivel action(radius and ulna) rather than a pivot or orbiting arms motion.... and I think that is why he does not fold the left arm as one might expect in swivel motion...maybe it would feel too closed for him after his hinge was a swivel motion...

Remember Sequence Release is a DESCRIPTION . . . I don't think it should necessarily be your PROCEDURE . . .
I was talking hinge action... and when you say "description" do you mean that you think that is is a feel rather than what occurs...?
Not going to be book-literalist or anything...just wondering!
No I think it is a description of what DOES IN FACT HAPPEN . . . . BUT just because that is what happens . . . that doesn't mean it should be YOUR PROCEDURE. e.g. I first uncock then I roll then I do my hinging . . .
