Difficult to say as I don't know your game but I'd be working on the foundations: Impact Fix, establishing the wedges, Extensor Action and basic Curriculum (in particular identify the plane and how it feels to stay on plane) with the 3 hinges. From that you'll be able to pick up quickly with the adjustment Yoda will introduce and have a good basis for bringing it to Acquired and total motion.
The flat level LW (and the LAFW) and the level bent RW (and the RFFW) together just like clapping the hands (but gripping the club)?
No,,,,,,,,,,not even close........
Have Yoda show you the Alignment.
Without the Right Angle Alignment, you'll almost always have more or less Left Wrist Bend at or after Impact. The Right Angle Wedge Alignment is the Only Alignment that makes "Magic of the Right Forearm" possible without Cocking the Right Wrist (which is the MOTRF). Also, Hinging will always be difficult because you're forced to add a little swivel for each Impact. That means, steering, etc, etc.
You should understand this very critical Alignment and why it's so important. You can only "Learn" this Alignment at Impact Fix.

6-B-3-0-1 THE FLYING WEDGES The Clubhead may appear to move in an arc around and outside the Hands when related to the Left Arm – the very basic Left Arm Flying Wedge. But when related to the Right Forearm, it appears to move “On Plane” with the Right Forearm, at its normal rigid angle (Bent Right Wrist) – the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. So – except in Sections 1 and 3 (Chapter '8') the entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft and the back of the Left Hand are ALWAYS positioned against the same flat plane – the plane of the Left Wristcock motion. At the same time, the Right Forearm and the Clubshaft are, in like manner, positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE. That is the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package structure and is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging. Study 4-D-1 regarding “Grip” and “Flat Left Wrist”. Also see 7-3. Then, ideally, the Left Wrist is always Flat and the Right Wrist is always Level (4-A-1, 4-B-1).
Did you notice the use of "BOLD" and "Capitalization". Have you ever seen so much emphasis in any other paragraph in the entire book?

I must have misunderstood the Alignment Golf DVD then, for I thought I heard Yoda make this point of the hands /rackets coming together in that fashion when he was explaining the Flying Wedges. But I'll certainly ask him about it - if he doesn't clear it up here in this thread...
Here he goes again. Notice, please notice that "the Flying Wedges’ alignments, as always, never waver." in the 2nd paragraph.
Notice that this statement is directly followed by "maximum Swing Radius (10-19-C) are resistances to Impact Decelerations" and that this is followed by "each must establish before – not during – Impact (2-M-1)."

7-1 GRIPS – BASIC Basic Grip is the term indicating the mere act of holding on to the Club and relates primarily to the proximity of the Hands. They simply are either close enough to overlap or they are not close enough to overlap. So all non-overlapping Grips are Baseball Grips.
The Grips of Hitters and Swingers must differ in tightness. But still per 1-L-3, 6-B-3-0-1, 7-3 and 10-6-B. For the Swinger, Centrifugal Force Uncocks BOTH the Left Wrist and the Right Elbow per 7-19 and 7-20. So both must remain “Passive” but never “Whippy.” For the Hitter, the Right Triceps become “Active” and execute both Uncocking motions with a firmness that approaches the mandatory rigidity of the Right Wrist. With both procedures, the Flying Wedges’ alignments, as always, never waver. Grip types other than the Strong Single Action (10-2-B) either destroy the Wedges or produce inferior deviations. Also study 3-F-6. The prestressed (bent) clubshaft (10-19-A) and maximum Swing Radius (10-19-C) are resistances to Impact Decelerations that each must establish before – not during – Impact (2-M-1).
In the Flying Wedges video the rackets come together like Yoda shows. It's possible to do this motion without rackets just using the palms of the hands (FLW + BRW). That would be the R.hand making the motion up and down like clapping the L hand staying in place just like the the racket in the L hand. What's wrong with that?
I'm a swinger (when not a hacker). But I have to learn a hitting technique as well in order to do angled hinging and punch shots - right?
I have noticed that Jeff Hull says he even uses horizontal hinging in the bunker and that he can hit soft flop shots (on grass) with horizontal hinging and a 6 iron if he wants (!),so it seems you can accomplish a lot without learning to use vertical hinging?
You can Swing and angle hinge and/or hit punch shots. But learning to Hit them would be good too if you're ready for it.
Horizontal is good for bunker shots ... longer ones in particular . You have to use the bounce and a Sweep Release Id say, get the shaft vertical at address and at impact. Luke Donald comes to mind. You don't have to cut it with Vertical all the time. Vertical is great for the short ones though where you need spin to stop the ball.
Are you sure Jeff said 6 iron flop shot with Horizontal? Rotated Plane Line and Vertical I can see but Horizontal? Jeff's a magician , so I won't bet against it.

Have fun Air.
Thanks.
Jeff is doing this with the necessary adjustments. Just for show. Cut shot - open, open.
Do you have any remarks to what Daryl is trying to teach me and where I have gone wrong?

The Flying Wedge alignments are real and this (I believe) alignment is key to almost everything else in the Golfing Machine. I tried on different occasions to explain the Alignment in different ways. In one thread I used red dots on the wrists, in another I explained how to swing a bucket and keep its Top edge horizontal to the ground, and finally in another I designed and made "Hinge Sticks" which, if used would align the wedges at Right Angles or at least the Right Forearm Wedge would "Finally" be On-Plane for Impact. I'm giving up on the written word with drawings as the best medium to explain things. I think that some things need something more visual as with video or face to face communication.
