You can then not do ANY of the imperatives nor strike the ball , if you are able to strike the ball, with a club head velocity greater than 10-25 mph. AND I would question if this is a true "#3 roll" AND I would love to see it performed with vertical hinging that is not dual-vertical. The hinges are SHOULDER things the hand and wrist actions are mechanically separate. (Although HK suggests that holding hand flat and vertical to the suggested plane is good feel-visual practice for hinging). You could take an inverted grip, keep a flat left wrist, use a reverse wrist cocking procedure and invent a new hinge and strike the ball but WHY? #3 accumulator SHOULD be used with RHYTHM not just flipped around the left arm. It is built into the primary lever assembly and should neither distort the wedge nor the coordination of the wedges. (For best results that is said) Just my opinions. Note- I have seen both Ted and Yoda demonstrate #3 Transfer Power by this almost vertical rolling the left wrist and club and it is VERY effective for demonstrating but I cringe because it loses the rhythm and on plane characteristics so vital to its application.
