Then, take this motion through the Downstroke and into the Release area, making sure you Uncock and Roll while still driving toward -- not down -- the Plane Line. Finally, complete your Total Motion by Swiveling out of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) and into the Finish. Make sure the butt-end of the Club points toward the Plane Line as you Finish Swivel.

Thanks for this piece. After practicing in my garden using the reflection of the windows as mirrors, and then spending some time at the range, yesterday, I played this morning and amazed my companions (a regular group of 5 foursomes) with my lowest score this year. I never once sliced the ball, it was always straight or with a slight draw (although not always in the correct direction). Not only where my shots straight, but longer, and I found myself mostly ahead of the others off the tee. I must admit that in 20 years or so of playing golf I have never quite understood the uncocking of the the left wrist -- until now. Thanks again.
