Left hand is very passive, only thing it does is "nothing" in the no roll feel of the angled hinging. But is it all it should do?

Does any of you have a more "active" clubface control than just the hinge action, ie are you pushing the left hand with a feel of the flat left wrist being the clubface??


Yes I feel very much like you describe when hitting. Angled hinging being a no roll feel.

I dont personally feel the flat left wrist but rather the frozen, bent right wrist as being driven into the ball. I also feel the right forearm flying wedge as being held intact throughout the swing. Its all very right sided to me and the bent right wrist seems key.

The only time I feel the left wrist is in the finish swivel (clubshaft control) when the left wrist actively rolls the club shaft back onto the inclined plane. But here too I FEEL the right wrist as trying to keep its bend. The forces may in fact straighten it out for a bit ,but the perception of the two wrists as having different jobs has helped me a lot. Previously I think I actively rolled both wrists. An over swivel.


This is where I am at now anyways.
