Joe/Mike,
Could you please describe the left hand/wrist position about 45* after impact, and then about 90* after impact? I can think of at least two ways to release the hands after impact, but the term "release" conjures images of the CG swing where the wrists are active. Can you help me re-image the wrist position at those 2 points after impact? Thanks,
Jeff

sorry for the delay and as usual please call me if not sufficient explanation /
best simplest for me set up at correct address position ie left hand wrist position..
normal SPS position at address, grip correct etc. at 6 oclock position/////
now rotate 'triangle', chest shoulders arms toward target, stop at 45 or 4:30 on follow thru- see left hand, unchanged as thumb hinge on top of bs has recoiled back to address position for contact and now as hands are 'only holding the club' not swinging it they are as they were at address..
to 3 oclock or 90 degrees, i describe this as hands 'being level', meaning my perception is that are are together at address and the only thing that changes is triangle rotating for follow thru// specifically hands stay the same but describing position at 3 oclock is hands are 'level or even' meaning left wrist is still flat, not broken down, right hand is not on top but even or level with left// if right hand is on top club face has rolled and hook spin is imparted on ball.
the end of swing is too slow down momentum and that is done by elbows folding and speed decreasing but still no wrist break with either hand at any point in the contact or follow thru.
remember always keeping extension with arms extended, rotating chest and shoulders so hands and wrists are always quiet, grip is relaxed not toooo strong/ pulling with front shoulder for uncoil therefore hands are not a power source.
anyway analyze and let me know if this answers your questions/ call me to discuss if needed
thanks and take care

Mike, it makes sense. While working on my swing I've taken the cautious approach and kept my elbows very close to my torso throughout the swing. This is fine until just after impact at which point the L elbow wants to break, much like the R elbow on the backswing, which in turn causes the hands to turn over. But I was suspicious that this move was causing me to hit some fades on my long irons and woods. Recently I decided to keep the L elbow straight after impact and treat the follow through more like a heaving motion, as if I were heaving the club as far down the fairway as I could. With the heaving motion I felt less need to turn the hands over, plus it took away the fade on the longer clubs. I think I'll keep the "heave" now and follow your suggestion on the hands.
Thanks |
