No. That's for at address to make sure your hips are square. Your hips will be open at impact.

And that you are bent over from the hips. (belt line/belt buckle)

my question was do you remain bent form the hips thru impact?

Yeah, that too. My bad.

Oh, sorry, I didn't quite get what you meant. I think it depends on the swing, but the main thing is that you don't lose the bend in an effort to allow yourself room to flip.

Come to think of it................doesn't doing a lagging clubhead takeaway already accomplish "SWINGIN your arms from the shoulder sockets"...
...??
BAH.......bedtime.
(thinking "out loud" at the least)
Still hitting it good though...

Maybe for you, but definitely not for me. In my case, they sure go well together, but doing one doesn't necessarily accomplish the other.
Whatever works though.

You might be right. Perhaps I just have the looseness of shoulders built in already.
Bah. I may be too anal.

Just reviewing the classic threads.
I have a question. If you go from flat left wrist at the top (with a bent right wrist), how do you go to slightly arched left wrist at impact with your right wrist "NOT BENT AS MUCH AT THE TOP"? I don't understand how those concepts are compatible -- if left wrist is flat at top and arched at impact, isn't right wrist more bent at impact? Help?

The word Arched deserves a definition. I know what I think it means, but maybe one of the instructors can define it.
My understanding is illustrated as follows: At address rotate your left hand down which creates an Arch that curves from the wrist joint along the top of the thumb line. Also seems clear that a player, like me for example, with upright lie angles would already have more of an arch at address, as compared to a player with lower hands at address.

I think an arched left wrist is understood to mean something specific. The opposite of a cupped left wrist (with "flat" in between the two). For instance, Trevino hit the ball with an arched left wrist at impact. (Although a visually flat left wrist might be anatomically speaking very slightly arched?)(softconsult, I think you are describing angles caused by cocking and uncocking wrists)
That's why I don't understand the comment in Brian's message in a bottle list about having a slightly arched left wrist but a LESS bent right wrist at impact. IF you have a flat left wrist at top and an arched left wrist at impact isn't the right wrist by definition more bent at impact than at top?

Slightly bowed left wrist at impact, another description.

I'm wrong. I will be interested in just how the right wrist can be less bent without causing the left wrist to be more cupped inward.

Right arm position affects right wrist bend.

If you go to a "karate chop hand" and then make a fist you can see that it adds a little bend to the wrist.
I hope this lets someone get the gist.
And if it does do this add it to your list.

I knew a guy his name was Chris.
One time Chris had a really big cist.
He didn't wanna look so he stood in the mist.
(sorry)

Right elbow is bent 90* at the top, and much straighter at impact - that's why.
Interesting comment from you and lookingtolearn saying the same thing. I still don't get it. I'll have to go mull this over.

Don't offer to give Itchy, that nice young lady from the strip club, a ride home after her shift ends a 4am. Might be best to just stay away from that place all together.

sc, it's because you are only viewing it in one dimension...
Here's an example..
Put your left hand in a position where it is about two feet or so after impact (palm will be nearly facing the sky)...
make sure you have a flat left wrist.....now place your right hand where it should be........hardly any right hand cock at all is there?......
