This is how I look at the left wrist - hold your left wrist out in front of you, flat and level, with the back of your left hand facing the target. Now imagine a railroad spike driven through your wrist from top to bottom, so the head of the spike is facing the sky and the point is facing the ground. Take your club and address the ball. That spike is pointing perpendicular to the flat shaft plane. That spike needs to stay perpendicular to that plane as you take the club away from the ball. You take the club away while your PP#3 and right forearm traces the target line, right before your right elbow bends to take the club up and in (taking the oath, or pulling the lawmnmower cord). Read the thread on Ted Fort's wedge swing. This is what causes his clubface to be closed (pointing to the ball longer that conventional teaching) during the backswing, and then contributes to that angled hinge during the forward swing we use when hitting. This is how I understand it. Might be wrong, but right now my ballflight seems to indicate that it is correct wolfman View Public Profile Send a private message to wolfman Find all posts by wolfman
