Lately I've been spending a lot of time practicing but I'm struggling with something. To quote Yoda...
The Left Hand controlling the Clubface;
The Right Hand controlling the Clubhead; and
The Right Forefinger and Forearm controlling the Clubshaft.
From the Address...to the Top...to the Finish.
Seems simple enough. Problem for me is that I'm a hitter and I try to both control the clubface and clubhead with the right hand. It seems that when I start to involve the left hand my two hands almost start fighting each other and I have difficulty with closing the clubface. So my question is does the left hand have to control the clubface. It seems to me that if I keep the right wrist bent, the left wrist will automatically be placed in a flat position. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The left does control the clubFACE because as you said mentioned the flat left wrist is the FACE. Since the right wrist is bent- the left wrist should remain flat - The FLYING WEDGES! The control of the clubFACE with the left hand, assuming it is Flat Level (from C0cked) and Vertical into impact, applies greater control when applying a hinge action and the swivel. That can't be done with the right hand - its DRIVING. The right arm wants to be like the left and is straightening and can't possible stop to control a PASSIVE clubface.
The good news: after you get hinge action and swivel down, the educated hands take over and you can just think about exploding the clubHEAD into the ball not the clubface. Thats a good ol powerful dumping on the ball, feels sooo good. LOL
This is how I got it figured from the last workshop.
Yoda?
At issue here is the 'mystery' of the Mechanics of Golf:
(1) Right Arm and Hand participation (and the control of Clubhead Power and Sweetspot Plane); and
(2) Left Arm and Hand participation (and the control of Clubface Alignment and Stroke Radius).
Happily, there is a solution to this two-handed 'problem' and a practical way to integrate it into your Total Motion.
