no problem i figured it was a typo

does the right wrist bend increase as it accomodates the left wrist cocking ?

Please check with one of the others to be sure this answer is correct. My understanding:

It depends upon your selected Address Procedure. If you set up with "Impact Hands" your right wrist angle is pre-set and doesn't change. If you set up with "Mid-Body Hands" your right wrist will bend and snap into position at some point in the back stroke.

While I am attempting to Educate my Hands, I am using the "Impact Fix" set up procedure and trying to maintain my angles. Particularly effective in basic motion...

ok thanks, that increase in rhw bend idea was a red herring, i was tring to figure out how the lhw cocking was accomodated but i think i'm getting it now - as you say by the movement of the rt elbow & forearm the goal being to get to the top with a cocked left wrist & a level right wrist

City,
I'm thinking sometimes you might be living from time to time in a parallel universe.
Are you still able to play in Philly? Are you putting more focus into pp#1?

Hi Jerry! Kevin, Tim, Daryl, OB , everyone!

I'm writing this while a southern warmfront pushes our temperature and trash cans into the air! 65 degrees tomorrow and sunny/windy. We are talking dirt range and the Schnauzer, Anna-Louisa!

After I trace the BLP (Base LIne Plane) by "tossing," "flicking," or "pointing " my # 3 PP at it , letting it pull my arm to shoulder height with slight Extensor Action, I am aware of two things which I count to myself as a check list.

Do this at horizontal level and incline gradually with your practice swing. Extend your right arm, fully with club in the middle of your right forearm. Snap your right wrist back for exaggeration of the feeling of LAG crashing against your # 3 PP and your right /back elbow bending. Then forget about the LAG and concentrate only on your bent elbow which you will shoot out at the imaginary horizontal ball/target.

By rapidly accelerating your Bennding Right Wrist/back wrist, you have plasterd the LAG against the # 3 PP and your opposite elbow straightening will keep it there until you come to your left/frontside ear. Fire the elbow and (sooner or later) the # 3 PP will go through the ball at speed.

Playing with this approach gives me good distance until I start to get nervous and forget to fire my elbow. If I haltingly cast a fishing line, it get's messed up. Ditto for the club! Cast the # 3 PP at the ball or throw it or....

My hope is to make this casting automatic and forget all the underlying essential instructional geometries and simply play golf which must be the state of mind the greats played with in competition, imho.

I want a player's mind when playing, not an engineers.

I will let you know how it goes, you can be sure.

Thanks City. I needed that.
There is such a wealth here. It is heartwarming to see some of it is yours.

I'm anxious to hear how it goes City...

I have been focusing on basic motion, and finding I can hold my impact alignments and feel more compression when I feel my right arm driving through #1 while monitoring the feel of #3. Driving the right arm through #3 could cause some flipping issues. Just my "feels."
