I think I often have an impact position similar to the picture on the right side.

Quote from the author (TGM-educated)
"An antiroll wrist position at impact (where the lead wrist is flat but rolled to the right for a right-handed player) will counterbalance a closed face. One can play using this variation, but like the "rolled" position of a weak grip, requires perfect timing and is consequently subject to under or over correction on the downswing."

What do you think of the last sentence (in bold)? I tend to have a closed clubface (at the top of the backswing) and the impact position seen in the picture on the right. Do you think it's a bad impact position for the wrists?

Thanks
The pic on the right is the Trevino 10-2-D look. Due to the Turned Left Hand Grip, the release motion must be made with the left hand still in the turned condition and the Finish Swivel MUST happen later. Also, Horizontal Hinging with this grip type is a NO NO.

All that being said . . . There are some particularly those on the Darkside that actually recommend a Turned Left Hand BECAUSE it eliminates the need for any Swiveling PRIOR TO the Imapct Interval. Thus ELIMINATING what could be percieved as an "unnecessary variable." So you just have the Left Hand Turned to the Plane and it just rides the Plane Uncocks ONLY, which is "throwing the Clubface at the ball."

So an strong arguement could be made to support the bold statement.

Examples would be Lee Buck, Zinger and Morgan Pressel.
