Weekly Golf Tip #1 Swivel

[innercityteacher]

I rotated hips to my top and drove down on pp# 1 like a wildman. it was such a fluid motion that I wound up at my left ear without thinking about it. I throttled it back to simply driving the primary lever because I was afraid I was doing "throw-away."

It was one big swivel and the distance was pretty good. By simply driving the primary lever, I gain a lot of short game control, though. I need all of it plus.

Daryl, you wrote the following: "My recommendation is to use 10-2-B grip but allow for a little Arch in the Left Wrist when the Right Wrist is Fully Bent for Impact (Hogan). This will provide two Benefits. First, The Back of the Left Hand will be forced into Vertical for Impact (By the Roll procedure) and Second, the Slight Arch in the Left Wrist will prevent Throwaway by Stopping, Blocking, or "putting the breaks on" Rotation of the Left Wrist past Vertical through-out the Impact and Follow-through Intervals. "

1) Is the uncocked left wrist the same as the "flat left wrist?"

2) If it is the same as the FLW, then it is able to be swiveled, right?

3) Is there a danger or problem with starting out with a uncocked left wrist at address?

4) Where is this area contemplated in TGM?

5) Is there any other advice you'd like to offer regarding the use of the uncocked left wrist?

Thanks!

Folks who never experimented with Hitting will not normally come to this conclusion but..... THE RIGHT WRIST MUST BE FROZEN IN ITS IMPACT FIX DEGREE OF BEND by impact. Hit some right hand only chips and see for yourself the necessity for a bent right wrist. For those starting at Adjusted Adress you've got to find it , for those starting up at Fix you got it. Not saying there's anything wrong with finding it from adjusted. There can be a little play so to speak, lagging startup, but by impact its solid, frozen.

The right wrist is not a source of power.......sorry .........and so it does not fire , it does not go from fully bent to fully unbent. It will unbend but not actively which would be active Throwaway , active bending of the ideally flat left wrist.

I start at impact fix and then uncock my left wrist by rotating my right forearm or by uhmm, uncocking my left wrist.

It seems easier. ( I have a better sense of the ULW though the RFFW does still cock the left wrist a bit as it travels to the top ) When I take the fully uncocked left wrist to top by RFT or by TSP, the ULW seems to immediately snap into place. As I thrust down on pp# 1, or rotate the power package, the prim. lever is locked out with the ULW and the direction is very predictable as long as I align the impact to the inner right quadrant of the ball. I do not allow the right wrist to unbend. The distances are very good owing to the delofting of the club and the longer travel of the lever in a uniform accelleration. (That's my guess, anyway.) I have to make sure that the club face is not square at impact or a snap hook will result. The ball is played in front of middle for all clubs.

I'm sorry to miss your point. Feel free to point out the obvious mistakes. I won't be upset and I'm sure your remarks will help my swing.
