left arm swivel takes place before or after impact?

Both- if you are a Swinger. A Swinger uses a Release Swivel before impact due to the Standard Wrist Action and employs a Finish Swivel after impact.

A Hitter uses ONLY a Finish Swivel since he uses a Single Wrist Action.

And add a third for a Swinger if you count the Start Up Swivel used by the Standard Wrist Action.

Three for Swingers and one for Hitters. Don’t allow the Swivel to haphazardly take you off the Plane Line.

Should these swivels be automatic or do I have to think about them? I am a swinger I think.

Also I need some definitions please:

1.Release Swivel-

2.Standard Wrist Action-

3.Finish Swivel-

Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) in the book is a good place to start.

I would say Finish Swivel begins somewhere around when the left arm passes the left shoulder socket thingie.

I would say Finish Swivel begins somewhere around when the left arm passes the left shoulder socket thingie.

Or just after both arms straight?

Hinge Action -- holding the Left Wrist Vertical (or perpendicular) to one of the three Basic Planes (Horizontal, Vertical or Angled) -- is in operation from Impact to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) per 7-10. The Arms will be well-extended past the Left Shoulder and the Clubshaft will be about 45 degrees to the ground. Then, Swivel Action -- "Snap Rolling the Hands into their On Plane Condition" (2-G; 4-0; 4-D-0) -- takes over as the Left Wrist Rolls from its Vertical alignment and creates the bridge to the Finish (12-3 #41).

In essence, Hinge Action is an Arm Motion (for Clubface Control) whereas Swivel Action is a Wrist Motion (for Clubhead Control).
