Regarding your perceived inability to Cock your Left Wrist while maintaining the Bent Right, do the following drill:

[See, this would make a great video short!]

Grip the Golf Club, then separate your Hands about six to twelve inches. Open the Right Hand but leave the Clubshaft laying across the fingers of the Hand. Now, without changing the Frozen Bent and Level Right Wrist, Cock the Right Elbow up and watch as it Cocks the Left Wrist. Then, use your straightening Right Elbow -- again, there will be no change in the Bent and Level Right Wrist Condition -- to Uncock the Left Wrist.

And there you have it.

Precisely the same action occurs in a geometrically-correct Golf Stroke.

I absolutely love this advice. I know that I among many was dubious of the Right Wrist frozen in it's Level condition and the Left Wrist Cocking at the same time. I thought there's no way this can be possible. Do this drill as Dr. Collards has prescribed and you would SEE IT FOR YOURSELF THAT IT IS POSSIBLE. It's not only possible but it's geometrically and structurally correct.

In addition to the above. Try hitting chips shots with this split grip. Even though the hands are split you can see how the Flying Wedges function in relation to each other.

Also split the grip take your swing to Top and then slide the hands together. You can see the proper Wrist Conditions with your normal grip.

Magic
