Before impact the arms must roll, or may you could say swivel action of the wrists in to impact, If the arms dont roll or the wrists swivel , then the clubface would stay open , and we dont want that !!!!!!!! Then what we want at impact is a flat left wrist and a bent right wrist , and please no bending of the left wrist during impact , or thowing the club at the ball !

i thought you are suppose to have a open club face at impact and not squared?
Yes correct the club face is open at impact and square at seperation.
The compression point infuences the direction , not the separation point , how the face closes between impact and seperation , depends what kind of shot your goling to hit .

Are you talking about open to the target, plane line, true path, or what? You can't really just say "open" and "square" any more. I'm assuming you mean open or square to true path?
For a dead straight shot at the targert, you want the club exactly square to the true path of the club which is pointing exactly at the target at the moment of maximum compression.
Man this is a tough game.

I'm not totally sure your question, like are you meaning to focus only on late actions near impact...but certainly there can be left arm rotation all the way from the top.
Also that "early" action depends on if you are using tumble and whether early, mid downswing tumble, or late arm/wrist actions.

The true path and the sweet spot plane , i am assuming you mean.

To be technically correct, the face is slightly open at impact, square at maximum compression and slightly closed at separation.
I wonder how long it's going to take before someone gets ahold of this statement and wrestles with it.
Whooop there it is.
I never got tangled up with "book" swivel lingo, so although it is "supposed" to be just prior or after impact, who cares?
I experiment every couple of weeks with having early or late "swivel" and combining that with various grip positions. And then when I get to the face closing seemingly on it's own with no conscious input, I leave it alone.
Right now, I am using constant left arm rotation from the top. Seems easy because it is fairly slow and because (often) when I apply left wrist ccw rotation nearer to impact I overdo and get the face hugely closed. Two months ago I was using mid-to-late turning of the left elbow.
As to fats, if I use early tumble, it definitely has to be coordinated with the pivot. When done simultaneously the combo looks quite smooth. I bet you are tumbling and (then) delaying some shift in your pivot. You probably have to do at the same time and really make some room and be able to send the hands ahead.

What is a tumble?
Not saying it aint true cos I don't have the data but can all that happen in the 0.5 inches of clubhead travel during impact?
Tumble is the act of steepening the club on the downswing.It is a necessary motion to get leftward pointing divots.It can help those who get too far underplane.
