The structure of the flying wedges says intact. The 'power package'.
The entire power package is rotated as a unit, so done properly, you can release fully and never flatten the right wrist. That is far, far better than what the 'seems as if' is, for even pga tour players.
That should have been in the Book. I couldn't agree more.

I don't Know Ed. That's my normal belief but last Sunday I was a little Surprised myself when Flattening the Right Wrist added Yardage. It's more an Uncocking and Flattening simultaneously of the Right Wrist. Ya gotta cock the Right Wrist too.

cock the right wrist?
You can gain speed, but you give up mass (and control). You won't reach your maximum potential force throwing the right wrist (controled throw away).
When you hit a good one, do you feel impact all the way through your body down to your feet? You should feel pressure in your right instep, and your #3 PP.

It does meet the definition of an acc... but when used can diminish ideal impact alignments. It is also throwaway, which kills impact conditions, but is defined as something that reduces speed.
Can it really reduce speed if released an amount not reaching a flat right wrist?
And if the RFFW was held past seperation. has this club come up short of its full potential?

I agree. But I think that the Pros do it intentionally.

The reason these guys do it is because most are taught to use left arm delivery lines which goes with a flip release. They have no other choice but to "flatten the right wrist" quickly because that is what goes with there delivery line. They would spray it everywhere if they tried anything else.
Seems to me that if you use a flip release or flatten
the right wrist that you loose pressure point #1
and therefor loose much the use of the #1 accumulator
(the right arm). Can you use the right arm, swinging or
hitting without the #1 pressure point?
You can use the #3 pressure point for Extensor Action which has the effect of not only pulling the inert left arm straight but also pushing and extending the club shaft.
You do have to guard against loss of the right wrist bend.
Using Extensor Action with PP#3 alone to power a hitting stroke feels like using a tight right forefinger/thumb grip.
I don't believe that flattening the right wrist would relieve PP#1 otherwise as you're pushing the base of the palm against the left thumb.
A Flip release in TGM (10-24-F) does not mean bending the left wrist. It's a different definition of the term.
It's the pivot-controlled hands swinging procedure.
Flattening the right wrist destroys the Flying Wedges, the accumulator #3 control, the hinge action and thus the Rhythm of the stroke, makes clubface control erratic and results in power leakage.
LOREN, Thanks for the information and reference for
the Flip Release. Guess I will have to do some more
study on the Flip Release. I have been working on
the #1 pressure point. When I do not feel the
#1 Pressure Point I am not really using the Right Arm and Elbow.
When I see V.J. Sing I wonder about his using the
the #1 pressure point.
How can the right elbow ever be on plane when the right shoulder and right forefinger are on plane ? The right elbow is bent most of the time so how can it be on plane ? When I watch my right elbow it never appears to be on plane, nor can I get it (or the right forearm) on plane. I have the Alignment Golf DVD but the claims of right forearm on plane has me totally confused. Please help.
