It is the only way to maintain both the Aft Thumb and the Vertical Wrist). This is an important point, one that I soon will illustrate using still photos or video or both.

Now, it is a fact that most TOUR players don't do this. But it does not follow that they are using the best procedure. It means only that they were trained traditionally. Remember, these guys wake up every morning looking for any edge they can get. And like the 'Fosberry Flop' that revolutionized the centuries-old approach to the high jump...

This is one area that deserves their attention.
OH MY! (serious light bulb going off/fog clearing)...i need to run to the (garage) range......ok i'm back...thanks yoda, that explains a LOT!
