As far as the ball is concerned it was bent and level...see ya! If you ignore some other factors and concentrate solely on maintaining a bent right wrist (or flat left wrist, for that matter), you probably will tend toward STEERING. Remember, LAG is the secret of GOLF. You want lag to be sustained so that it does not allow the right wrist to flatten or the left wrist to bend. LAG has no release point. Concentrate on lag pressure through the pivot train, from the feet up, and find a way to make your hinge action of an angular motion operating on an inclined plane so that rhythm, balance and stationary head are not disrupted. Keep your wrists completely relaxed and make a TOTAL MOTION that maintains lag and does not unload too soon. If your wrists become tight to try to maintain the BRW or FLW, you are steering. I know because I have done it (STEERING) for many years. I read where Homer said that if you could learn to play with a FLW, you would break 80 tomorrow, so I started holding my wrist rigid through impact and it killed my swing. What Homer did not say, but is understood, is that you must learn to play with a FLW while sustaining LAG. elliskit View Public Profile Send a private message to elliskit Find all posts by elliskit
