Could you elaborate on this a little more please? I assume you're trying to get more of your left hand heel pad on top with more of the grip down in the last three fingers, correct?
Manzella mentions something about how this keeps from dumping the club too early, by holding the wrist angle longer. Is this correct?

For me it's more about getting the grip more in the fingers. I've got large hands but not long fingers, so my tendency is to let the grip work it's way up too much into the palm if I don't stay aware of it. That gets the fingers too diagnal on the grip and then I lose too much of that angle Brian talks about in the video. For me, the left heel pad will be on top either way, but when done correctly the alignments through the ball are better. If that makes any sense?
Yes it does, thanks. I also have short fingers and a longer palm.

It would seem to me that having the correct size grips would be important to having it across those 3 fingers as well. I wear a cadet medium glove and have sort of short fingers compared to my palm, and I sometimes feel like a standard sized grip is just a bit to large to hold securely in my fingers. Usually I just choke down a touch and that helps.

Is having the hands as far out as their going to get at the same time the hands reach low point somewhat new on this site? I missed it if it isn't. I was doing everything I could to keep the hands from moving towards the target line I.E. vertical hands during transition that I must have been way overdoing it. I would reach the hands low point infront of my right leg, but the hands where jammed in too close. Pretty hard to work up and in from there.
Anyway love it thanks Brian.

I noticed that comment from BM too Jeremy. First time I have heard it here but it is referenced again on a pay site video (I forget which one). This idea may also tie in with BM's comment recently on the application of forces, something like "the feel on the downswing should be a constant pulling in". This only makes sense to me if the hands are a bit "out" at their low point.
I put the two ideas together the other day and felt something completely different. Going normal was a lot easier, I think. So was swinging left.

You are always pivoting, just not accelerating. Acceleration of the hips occurs at the beginning of the downswing and the hips slow down or decel during the impact phase. They never stop, they keep moving, just at a slower rate.

First time mentioned in those words. Too me it seems that he is refering to the "About the coupling Point". The low points that the hands reach where they start to move up and in. So I believe its an old term just used different phrasology.

The hand plane NEVER goes to the target line.
The hand plane during the FUNCTIONAL SWING PLANE phase of the swing GOES LEFT!!!!!
The base line of this plane is WAY WAY WAY inside the base line of the FSP.
