There are alot of different things that can effect your ability to get the flat left wrist at impact such as lag, wrist position at the top and even the pivot but I think one thing that everybody should first learn is where the hands should be at impact and how this hand position appears from your point of view. As I'm sure you all know the hands should lead the clubhead into impact, maybe you've never really thought about it so here's what it looks like.

Okay notice from Badds POINT OF VIEW looking out of the eyesockets to the hands, they APPEAR to be outside his left foot. So if you didn't know this grab a club and simulate your impact position and look straight down at your hands and if they appear to be anywhere but in front of your left foot you have destroyed any chance of attaining a flat left wrist at impact. You can actually swing with the sole purpose of aiming the hands at that exact impact position and acheive what is so elusive. For TGM'ers this is one of the first lessons and reading this will be a bore but for many I hope it will shed a little light on the subject.

As Homer said " it should feel like your head and the ball is behind your hands at impact".

Hitting down on the ball is easier said than done, and at best takes a long time to ingrain into the swing.
Instead, I prefer... ensuring the arms are in front of the ball at impact. I recently found It has the same effect, and It’s so much easier.

Hitting down on the ball is easy. The problem is most people don't have educated hands. They've educated their hands to flip at the ball because their hands got an education from what the clubhead was doing. This all has to be reveresed. The clubhead has to do what the hands tell it to do. Let your hands be the command post. Forget about the clubhead, let your hands be the clubhead. What ever you want the clubhead to do do with your hands, the clubhead has no other choice but to follow.

And is that right hand still in the same position it was in pre-release? Looks almost straight to me. Very slightly bent.

You watch any current tour pro and they keep their hand alignments through impact then hinge and swivel.


from one of your proponents in the "flip" thread.

Looks kinda like Badd probably unhinged a little and started a flip to me!!!!!

OH, and BTW. That impact position...almost exactly like Shawn's that you so shamelessly slammed in the other thread.

He wasn't by chance adding a little ooomph to the swing with that unhinge was he?

Can you show the viewing public your "at top" and "pre-release" photos please. Just for clarity sake, so they can see he kept the same angles of your wrist all the way thru and past impact.

EDIT...ooops just went and looked at "shoulder downplane" by shauny and it looks to me that Badds right hand is almost folded(hinged) almost 90° to his arm at the top and is still pretty well hinged at pre-release and then at the impact it is almost all the way unhinged..errr almost straight. Could he be flipping or scooping? PS... I don't really believe so, incase you haven't caught the sarcasm. So, someone must not be too right about all that has been said.

And before you start the "you don't know what a ....is" diatribe. A flip is an early unhinge of the wrist; before impact.

You can't look at someone from down the line and tell the degree of right wrist bend at impact. Show us some pictures of the player from the front to validate your point.

surely you jest!

You can't see the angle of bend at the top?

Get some glasses. Looks like the old waiter tray description.

For impact; see post above in this thread.

Re-read what I wrote. I wrote "You can't look at someone from down the line and tell the degree of right wrist bend at IMPACT". I didn't write one word about the position at the top. Now I know why complex golf text gives you problems.

The right wrist does straighten some because it HAS to when the left wrist uncocks. When the hands go back the left wrist ****s and the right wrist bends straight back and on the downswing the left wrist uncocks and the right wrist straightens but not totally untill after impact. What little power that does come from the hands comes in two forms as SM already said, the uncocking of the left wrist and the rolling of the left wrist not the straightening of the right wrist.

Well, you had me there for a while.

Why leave out the accumulated power of the bent right wrist?

Rhetorical question....you don't need to answer.

am beginning to believe this crowd can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
