This is the latest BBG video featuring the knuckle flow move.
This video features Lee Deitrick who learned this "move" from Martin Ayers.
It's also seemingly called the "infinity loop move". The basic idea is the idea of rotating a steering wheel where the lead hand moves under during the backswing action and where the trail hand moves under during the downswing.
The backswing part of this move is also seen in pro golfers who use a weak trail hand grip and who perform the "lawnmover rope pull" trail arm move recommended by Mike Adams/Terry Rowles.
An example would be Angel Cabrera.
Capture images of Angel Cabrera's backswing action.

The pro golfer who most manifests this "infinity loop move" swing action is Matt Wolff who is featured in this BBG video.
Here are capture images from the BBG video showing how Matt Wolff performs the "infinity loop move" swing action.

Capture images of Angel Cabrera's backswing action.
Image 1 is at P2.
Note how the lead hand is pulled inwards while the back of the lead hand is facing groundwards because he is not allowing his lead forearm to pronate. That keeps the clubshaft outside the hands between P1 => P2 and where the clubface is tilted groundwards. Note how the trail elbow is pulled backwards using the "lawnmower rope pull" technique which results in a flying trail elbow at the P4 position.
However, MA/TR do not recommend looping the clubshaft in the manner recommended by Lee Deitrick where the golfer is encouraged to use a pitch elbow motion of the trail arm combined with an exaggerated degree of trail forearm supination that gets the trail hand to move to an underhand position at P6. The only pro golfer that I have seen who uses a weak trail hand grip and who also uses the MA/TR recommended "lawnmower rope pull" move technique during the backswing action, but who loops his clubshaft in a counterclockwise manner (as recommended by Lee Deitrick), is Colin Montgomerie.
Note that he has a flying trail elbow at P4 (image 1).
Note how he has a significant clubshaft shallowing move where he ends up with his trail hand under the club handle at P5.5 (image 4).
However, I know of no logical reason why this infinity loop maneuver could be deemed to be advantageous.
Here are capture images of Brendon performing a golf swing action at the end of the BBG video - after learning how to perform the "infinity loop move" golf swing action.
Note how he performs his backswing in the standard manner where he pronates his lead forearm to get to the standard P2 position (image 3) and where his clubshaft is on-plane at P5 (image 4).
Here is his downswing action.
Note that he is performing his downswing action in his standard manner where the clubshaft cuts across the middle of his right upper arm at P5 and he is not performing an exaggerated clubshaft shallowing move (as seen in the Matt Wollf capture images).
I think that Brendon already has an excellent golf swing action and I am glad to see that he is not really performing the idiosyncratic "infinity loop move" golf swing action.
