How about that cometGolfer ? pretty cool reply from Mathew I think.

Thanx for that reply Mathew.

It is really cool to get such a precise answers from somebody with an amazing knowledge of alignments as you have. I get almost as giddy from your replies as those that I get from Yoda, any of the teachers/pros, mikeO, Bucket, 6Bmike, etc. ..... you know all the big guys that can really compress it.

Thanks again, great answer.

Precision
 

KT,

Amen brother. Nothing like precise answers..... that is one of the benefits of TGM!

Thanks to Mathew and 12 for more fog-clearing.

Can anybody help me out. I'm a bit confused wouldn't fully uncocking the left wrist destroy the right forearm wedge?

Also on a related point is it the right forearm that uncocks the left wrist into impact or is that solely the left wrist job?

Cheers Danny.

If you get your left wrist to fully uncocked and your right forearm wedge breaks down then I think that might be due to incorrect flying wedges. Check your power package alignment and function. Check your bent right wrist to make sure it is frozen.

3-F-6. EXECUTION
"A flimsy Power Package structure indicates lack of Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) and/or neglect of the Flying Wedges (6-B-3-0-1). Or faulty Translation; Or it may be that you are attempting to incorporate incompatible Components as discussed in Chapters 1-K and 13."

As for uncocking the left wrist, you have options. You can use gravity, centripetal force, the straightening of the right arm, or the muscles of both forearms.

2-g and Rhythm
 

danny_shank,

I keep thinking about your question from before: wouldn't fully uncocking the left wrist destroy the right forearm wedge?

I started to think rhythm might be a good way to help this so I looked it up in the index and this was the first reference:

2-G. HINGE MOTION
"The point to be learned here is that the Club, because of the Flat Left Wrist, must always travel at the same RPM as the Arms and reproduce the Hinging intended for the selected Lag Loading procedure (10-19) pre 4-D, 9-2, and 9-3, regardless of Clubhead Extension velocity.

KnighT, this is kind of my point. If the action is controlled by the left wrist if the left wrist goes to fully uncocked then wouldn't this uncock the right wrist as well and destroy the alignment of the clubshaft and the right forearm? it doesn;t seem ideal to me that you have to rely on holding the right wrist frozen to inhibit the left wrists dynamic motion.

I can't say for sure, because I do not yet fully comprehend the flying wedges and the left wrist. We talk alot about the magic of the right forearm here and it is quoted very often. I think it applies here:

7-3. STROKES - BASIC
"Furthermore, in compliance with 6-B-3-0-1, Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening, or Cocking the Right Wrist."

If you understand that and have the 3 imperatives you will swing like Brian Gay. Well, maybe not that good. But I bet it can produce a very precise swing.

EdZ has said to use a split grip and I like the feel of that. Give it a try.

Right here, my brother!!! Great to see you continually learning. Great to hear from 6B (PM). I miss you guys and the whole gang Philly, Mike O. YODA, Dr. Orr, MBCPro, etc... Long hiatus from the game, but thinking and practicing constantly. Will return before long and hope to become an integral part of all that Lynn is creating.

He lives! We need to hang! Holla when you come up for air again.

Bump.

This is a great question that was never answered directly. Anybody out there have some good answers to Bucket's question here?
