How do you work on the hinging action and keep your right wrist bent? With angle and horizontal hinging it wants to straighten. Do you workon hinge action on the basic stroke?

I worked on one handed pitch shots and it was amazing how my right wrist wanted to straighten on the right arm swings.


I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing at impact when working on hinge actions and not bending the left wrist.
Allow your Right Hand to rotate ONLY!!!! The Right Wrist is absolutely not responsible for the Upward Movement of the Clubhead. So DO NOT COCK YOUR RIGHT WRIST!!!! COCK YOUR RIGHT ELBOW!!! Keep your Right Wrist BENT and LEVEL and take up up with your Right Forearm by cocking the Right Elbow and allowing the forearm to Turn.

To educate your Right Wrist to remain FROZEN in the LEVEL BENT condition . . . Hit an impact bag or pillow with a little chipping motion. Hit it by cocking and uncocking your right elbow and NOT allowing your wrist to COCK on the Backstroke. On the Downstroke keep the Right Wrist Frozen in its LEVEL and BENT condition. Pop the bag and LOOK at your right hand. Did you Throw it away? Once you get the impact bag down . . . hit little right handed chips keeping the wrist LEVEL and BENT.

Your Right Forearm can Turn and Roll. But Hinging is the responsiblity of the Left Forearm Flying Wedge. To simplify this focus on your Left Wrist and the Clubface. Take a short grip. With Horizontal Hinging the Toe of the club will Point along the Plane Line. With Angled Hinging the Toe will be 45 degrees to the Plane Line. With Vertical Hinging the Clubface is Perpendicular to the Plane Line.

As far as your Left Wrist goes . . . Horizontal Hinging will have the feel of Half Roll . . . Angled Hinging will feel like NO Roll . . .and Vertical will feel like REVERSE Roll. Hit chips with each Hinge Motion. Control Hands . . . Control Face . . . Control Face . . . Control Ball . . . Control Ball . . .Control Game.

Go to the Basic section and look at Yoda's video on Wedges. It is full to the brim with great information. Here you will SEE how the Left Wrist Cocks and Uncocks TO THE PLANE LINE without the Right Wrist Cocking. This is absolutely required viewing. It is best 3 minutes you will ever see on Koolaid Koncepts. Pay attention to every word. Words mean something and mean even more with pictures.

I'm fixin' to watch it now . . .
