The hammer demonstration is a good analogy in understanding how the wrists unhinge but the complex manoeuvre is rotating the handle to square the face. The question therefore is the rotation of the handle a conscious purposeful action or is it a passive movement in response to body pivot rotational movement.

I guess they don't answer comments!

Fantastic question - I will ask Levi to reply on this!

An answer for you from Levi above!

The rotation of the handle on the downswing is extremely important to create both downforce and also keep the face square. For some this is conscious and for others it’s subconscious! When you have stability in the wrist joint, you’ll only be able to rotate the right palm down a small (limited) amount. This is what creates consistency! When the joint/s become unstable, that’s where you’ll create inconsistent patterns in body movements - club positions- ball patterns. Remember, constant means consistent!
