Dr Mann Your analysis makes sense except for the bolded underlined parts below: "If a golfer keeps his clubhead level to the ground between P6.5 => P7 (creating a "flat spot' in the clubhead arc), then it due to the interplay of two factors - i) the timing of the final release of PA#2 (which increases the swing radius) and iii) the timing of the elevation of the lead shoulder socket (which decreases the swing radius). If there is a small amount of lead wrist extension happening just before impact, it will not significantly affect the swing radius."
Shouldn't it be the release of PA#2 decreases the instantaneous swing radius of the clubhead , while the elevation of the lead shoulder socket increases the instantaneous swing radius of the clubhead (as shown in the image below)? DG

DG I define the swing radius as the distance between the lead shoulder socket and the clubhead. The swing radius must increase when PA#2 releases and the clubshaft becomes more straight-line-aligned with the lead arm. I was wrong to state that elevation of the lead shoulder socket decreases the swing radius. It must actually increase the swing radius and it allows for the degree of forward shaft lean to be less than it would otherwise be if the lead shoulder socket was lower (relative to the ground) at impact.
