Maybe Greg will jump in here, too. I believe he’s described a sort of "hammering down" thought while releasing his wrist cock. It would seem that if you completely release your wrist cock (true cocking....up and down..not swatting) that this angle would be tending to completely straighten out and put you "toe down" especially if your hands return to impact slightly higher than address. Maybe you could elaborate a bit.
yes it will put it in a more toe down position, that is one of the reasons that when you get fitted for clubs that they want the toe to sit up a little at address and not be soled flat, the other is the shaft bends down. In the golf swing there are laws of physics that are involved. Centrifigul force is an out ward motion from an inward pull. The left shoulder is pulling inward while the club head is goint outward. Centrifigul force is not really a principle or theory, it is a law of physics. This motion will produce an inline condition, which in the golf swing will be completely inline just after impact, but at impact will be pretty close to a straight line. I hope that makes some sense and clarifies a little , if not let me know and I will try to expand on it. Maybe greg or someone else could chime in as well
