  1. The two most important lines in the book for me are that the downswing is almost automatic, the golfer instinctively hits through. The section about supination is to study it, and so when swinging becomes more proficient at it, I think the key is the chain action, the sequence, that golf shots should be planned and played instinctively. That novices would best keep their hands unconscious. But again - hit through instinctively. I think several lines in the book show this method is about automatism, repeat ability, instinct. He talks about these positions, eg the bent right elbow, being important, but that you can't 'simulate' them, they are positions you swing through as a by-product of your own swing. All part of the chain action. He talks about being the 'captive' of your own swing. He talks also about his weakening the left hand as a personal preference, that could be adopted by people with the same swinging pattern ie same build, athleticism, flexibility, perhaps even tendency to be flat and hook the ball. He says clearly that it is advantageous not to have to make adjustments. In my view, he meant that you set up and execute a chain action instinctively, if any value in doing something conscious was to be gained I believe he says the backswing rewards conscious attention more than the downswing, which, once the hips start it, becomes almost automatic. The second line for me is about the drawings clearing up the involved language of instruction. For me, he supinate his left forearm or instinctively does so, but that is the move. The sequence on p102 is of supination and the highlighted palmar flex ion is for me, a position that exists, but as a by product of supination. I don't think he really cared about the squareness of the club through the ball, or where it occurred in the downswing; I think he cared about dynamics, motion and the body instinctively squaring the blade through the motion of supination, learned instinctively through practice.
