----------so arching the left wrist at the top means it shuts the face down big time and thus a cause of my hooks----------correct?

From my limited experience...... given that you can lock the arch and get the package back to the ball, you will hit it lower. However, the risk of fouling the Hinge is high. I admit to the guilty pleasure of using an arched wrist for a specific type of chip and short pitch.

But as soon as I stress it with a full swing, it becomes an unwelcome timing "game" to get the wrist back to flat at impact. At it's very worst you have created a horizontal cocking. Left to do it's thing, it will continue past flat at impact. Wrist breakdown. Goodbye hands ahead, hello left side of the course.

Been there, done that.... have the shirt and coffee mug.
