Left arm wedge

Sorry, I still don't get this.

Which of these are wrong?

* If the left wrist is flat the club must cock directly towards the left shoulder and uncock away from the left shoulder.

* In an onplane swing, on the turned shoulder plane, after turning, the club cocks back towards the right shoulder, or where the right shoulder will be after it has turned back to plane. Or, in other words, the wrist cock occurs on plane.

* The only way the club could cock towards both the left and right shoulders would be if the left and right shoulder were both on plane (possible with a rotated shoulder plane?)

It seems to me (and I'm happy to be corrected on this!) that you need a small bend in your left wrist to cock towards the right shoulder unless the left shoulder is also on plane.

Help!

The Left Wrist is only Turned for the Swinger using Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A). Turned means that the Left Palm faces towards the Inclined Plane. Any Cocking occurs independently of this Turned Left Wrist Condition, i.e. amount of Cocking does not affect how much the Left Wrist is Turned.

The Flat Left Wrist Condition should be established at Impact Fix (10-8-A). The Swinger using Standard Address (10-9-A) has a Bent Left Wrist to start with which gets Flattened via Extensor Action during Start Up. This flatness of the Left Wrist is identical to that established at Impact Fix, and its condition is maintained until Follow Through.

PS: There is no Rotated Shoulder Plane Angle in The Golfing Machine. However there is a Rotated Shoulder Turn (10-13-C). The Rotated Shoulder Turn does not place the Left Shoulder On Plane at the Top. For photographic evidence, please look at 10-13-C #2. In fact, the geometry of Shoulder Control deals only with the Right Shoulder. So stop thinking about the Left Shoulder -- it's the Right Shoulder that matters. Study third paragraph of 2-H.

Hope this helps.
