Question about 'catching rain'
 

I understand the move of 'catching rain' in your left hand after impact. It keeps my left wrist flat and right wrist bent. This position goes all the way into my finish position. But this leads to a question I have after observing many of the tour pros. Many of them have a flat right wrist and bent left wrist at the end of the swing. What gives here?

Surprised this hasn't generated any response. I'd like to see some answers to this too.

Remember the right wrist ain't no Imperative. Check out VJ Singh . . . not only is the right wrist bent . . . the whole palm is off the club . . . BUT the left wrist is flat and he still has a #3 pressure point. There are dudes that do keep the right wrist bent. There are dudes on tour that are expert club throwers too. You can skin herds of cats if you can catch 'em. They may have the talent to have a flat right wrist and shoot 68 everyday that ends in y. But does that make it right for everybody? Maybe maybe not.

The World should be Flat
 

The Flat Left Wrist should be maintained until Follow Through (8-11), but if you can take it to Finish... :) .

If you look at pros at the finish position (in the "pose"), I'd suggest most have their right wrist bent (not that it has remained bent from follow through, but really to say that it returns to a familiar position).

Now from impact to follow trough, you definitely see right wrists move to a flattened condition (see Bucket's post).

Additionally, as photographs are not 3-D it is hard to see the depth that is wrist bend. (For a given club or person, the degree of bend should and will vary - the condition of being bent to the correct degree is the important thing - could be small or large degree).

Equivalents
 

Wasn't it in "A Ben Doyle Lesson -- Part I / Tire Trouble” where Ben asked
"What is the equivalent of a Flat Left Wrist" and the answer was
"A bent right wrist"?

Yes, the Left wrist is Flat because the Right Wrist BENDS, not the other way around.

About face
 

Thanks 6b. It is these subtle nuances that can make all the difference. My Bent Right Wrist has been incidental to my intention to achieve the Flat Left Wrist. I will reverse it forthwith. Much appreciated.

Of course, you can set up with a Flat L and a Bent R at address or Impact Fix, too. Otherwise, the L will straighten as the R bends on take-away as Extensor Action snaps it In Line.

Ah . . . but too much bend could equal ARCH . . . So flat is flat . . . and flat is clubshaft in line with left arm . . . THE GEOMETRIC BASIS OF FLAT.
