In a previous post,elsewhere on this forum,there was a lot of debate about right wrist bend and cocked right wrist(referencing Sergio). When checking out the amount the left wrist can cock and the right wrist can bend -DO NOT do it "statically".You simply can't get your left wrist to maximum cocked position unless you load it. Try this; Put your left forearm out in front of you,elbow against your side ,palm down,make a fist ,thumb out to the right as if you were holding a club parallel to the ground .Cock your wrist -now pull on your left thumb toward you -your wrist will cock at least a fraction more. Place the palm of your right hand against a wall,fingers pointing to the right so the wrist is bent at the maximum you can naturally achieve by just bending,now lean your body to the right -the angle between the forearm and wrist reduces,way beyond what you can achieve statically. In both cases you have have achieved the maximum angle you can achieve by LOADING. Call it load ,call it torque, call it reduced angle-call it what you want, (I am not one to go into detailed Physics like other forums -Homer used terms he felt were best-I'm not going in the centrifugal/centripetal hole). As in a lot of the book ,you don't get the true picture until you MOVE-I suspect Homer suggests doing short strokes first for a reason MONITORING. In the full swing this is difficult -so we translate mechanics into FEEL,and the feel of 100% LAG PRESSURE in SWINGING will cock that left wrist more(for most people) than you can just by moving your hand. Daryl, you are back with a VENGEANCE!!! Hi Neil, It's just my Winter Golf Starvation period. OCD. I've been laughing outloud at some of the things Bucket and you guys are saying and my Wife looks at me like I'm a nut. Anyway, I agree with what you're saying. The force of Loading can Cock the Wrist(s) to a greater extent than static Cocking. And I agree that Motion adds another dimension to each component. Do you think, that a Late Release is caused by the mechanically more acute angle between Left Arm and Shaft (or something else?), or is Delayed Release simply a decision the Golfer makes and then merely prevents (somehow?) Throwout from occurring at its normal place. I guess what I'm trying to ask is; Is there a relationship between Cocking Angle and Release Point in un-manipulated Swings? __________________ Daryl Daryl View Public Profile Send a private message to Daryl Find all posts by Daryl
