Hi DG,
With a fully supinated right hand position (inside of right forearm facing skyward) coming into impact, it looked like Russell advocated axial rotation of the club (by means of left hand flexion and right hand extension) in order to "square" the clubhead for impact. His second idea is to prevent the club from passing the hands for a while after impact by making the right forearm continue to travel and prevent right arm release, seemingly requiring a sliding of the right scapula.
He admits that he doesn't swing this way and describes such as a "feeling/reality," whatever that means.
Something tells me that tour pros who exhibit a later passing of the hands by the clubhead do not execute such as he described, for if they did, they would be living each week from paycheck to paycheck.

Many thanks Dr Mann - I should have remembered that Gears also had sampling rate issues to measure rate of forearm rotation which obviously has relevance to 'Grip Roll' and 'Clubface Closure Rate' metrics too. Just seen another Russell Heritage video below regarding 'Twistaway' and find it baffling. DG PS. Does he really mean using "early left forearm supination + left wrist palmar flexion" rather than 'Twistaway' (clenching/torqueing the fingers around the grip)? I think he is implying it is required to be a DHer (including a right pitch elbow although he fails to include right shoulder shoulder downplane and right lateral flexion). I think RH may be using KM's articles below kelvinmiyahiragolf-articles.com/index.php/articles/articles-2/2013-articles/30-2013-12-essentials-of-the-drive-hold-swingRH promoting supination of right forearm while also supination of left forearm which I think is impossible (if keeping a secure grip). To suggest that tour golfers regrip is not something I have seen too often, although I've seen VJ Singh and PM loosen their rear hand grip (run out of right arm?). RH's explanation of what he means by the term "twistaway" is so vague as to be meaningless. First of all, he states that a pro golfer uses a "regrip" phenomenon as he nears impact. What does it mean to state that a pro golfer regrips the club handle? Does it mean that the club handle changes its relationship to the palms of the two hands? I personally do not believe that pro golfers change their hand grip during the downswing!!!! Then, he implies that the left wrist becomes markedly bowed near impact while the right forearm remains supinated!!!! That's crazy! I have never seen a pro golfer start any left wrist bowing so late in the downswing just before impact. Also, RH does not clearly delineate whether he believes that the left wrist bowing phenomenon is accompanied by a twistaway phenomenon due to a finger torquing phenomenon - presuming he even understands that it is the finger torquing phenomenon that is causally responsible for twisting the club handle around its longitudinal axis - because he would then have to explain how that is possible so close to impact when the left forearm's flexor digitorum profundus muscles that produce the finger torquing phenomenon are being stretched due to the CF-release of the club. I think that this is RH's worst golf instructional video and it is both totally meaningless and totally useless from a golf instructional perspective! Jeff.
