Wrist Position in Backswing

[Bagger Lance]

I am wondering, though, if Lynn has the feeling of turning his left hand more than what would feel like 90* to achieve this phenomenal alignment?

Thank you, guys!

Lynn is pretty transparent about what he does and he uses a LOT of drills to fine tune his motion. When he takes his hands to the turned shoulder plane location he does a couple of simple things:
Flat backstroke shoulder turn
Right hand pickup straight back, up, and in to the TSP (See the Paddle Drills)
Extensor Action, Extensor Action, EXTENSOR ACTION
Delayed Hip Action - He clears the right hip in advance to make room for the hands.
Right Knee Anchor

Bagger, very cool. I will search the paddle drills. I have been on other sites and only get mysterious or coded answers...sometimes.

This means so much to me, thank you!

Couldn't find any paddles but used a thin flat plastic covered menu the other day at the driving range restaurant.

I held the menu between both open hands right hand a bit lower. I turned the left hand and bent my right wrist maintaining a little pressure against the menu between the two hands. I continued to try and turn my hands from this position which started to rotate my forearms, bend my right elbow and move the menu cleanly up plane. I then found myself in a condition that looked like Lynn's backswing...not fully but much better than mine was. Unconsiously, my hip and shoulder just wanted to get out of the way during this somewhat static drill.

It feels very compact and when coupled with an early right hip and a kind of sitting motion in the takeaway it feels so very compact and that basically nothing can go wrong from there.

A sense of extensor action was there due to the opposing forces of the hands pushing together to keep the menu in place. I'm just wondering about this elimination of the right forearm pickup, as a component, as it didn't seem to be something I needed to do because it simply reacted to the hand/wrist motion.

Check this link for drills with paddles, er uh racquets.

I have a DVD from Lynn where he explains this exact same thing but stresses how the right arm (if you are right handed of course) must turn placing the racquet flat on the plane...just like the clubface on the backswing. Seriously good stuff!!

Thats the one.

Our friend Paul did a nice job of explaining that. Oddly enough ...it is in fact IDENTICAL to Yodas drill that he demonstrated a few years back at the Destin clinic with Chuck Evans. Great to know we are all speaking the same language across the globe. Well done Paul.

Should we try strapping flash lights to the raquet handles and strings to combine plane and face angle?

Now thats my kind of golf training aid! Texas Style!
Need some dowels for the address station too.
Since we are doing offsite links...lets try and get it on here and make a few bucks! http://www.thegolfchannel.com/foreinventors/

Seriously though - The rackets are an amazing drill. It showed me why and how I was crossing the line at the top.
