No. He is a Swinger. Although not as much accumulator lag as Sergio or Hogan . . . the left wrist is loaded and THROWN OUT. Not driven out.

Really isolate your left wrist motion without a club. Clench your fist and cock it up in the plane of your left arm. There's not a lot of motion there. The only way to get more is to cock and bend which gets the shaft out of line with the arm and thus destroys the alignment of the left arm flying wedge.

There is WAY more power in alignments than double cocking the wrist.

The Flat Left Wrist has its basis in the Law of the Flail. It is not a HOLD ON thing. It is a dynamic thing. It's a hammering motion. Get out your club and hold it left hand only just outside your left foot. Now hammer the crap out of the ground. THAT IS A FLAT LEFT WRIST. Experiment with this. Drag it down and let it SLING OUT into the ground. That's your motion. The Flail is the flat left wrist. So if your grip is turned your left wrist will cock AND BEND to hammer the ground.

When you make this hammering motion you have Accumulator Lag . . . but you ain't trying to get it. It happens as a result of the inertia of the club being drug down plane.

Only difference between this and your golf swing is the plane that it occurs on. Hammering is a verical plane. Golf is an angled plane. So all you are doing is hammering on an inclined plane.
