At Standard Address, the left wrist is bent and the right wrist is flat. I am working on the right move or feel going to the top. When you take the club up by right forearm takeaway, the left wrist will become flat at the top? If you bent the right wrist at takeaway, there is a little roll on the left arm such that the left wrist becomes flat and then hinging to the top? You should not have a bent left wrist at the top? Welcome to LynnBlakeGolf, Daryti, and thank you for this first post. To your question: While the only Imperative is that the Left Wrist be Flat at Impact, the Left (and Right) Wrist Conditions ideally are established much sooner. In fact, the application of Extensor Action virtually assures this result during the Start-Up. Hence, the inclusion of Item 16 (Start Up -- L/R Wrist Conditions) in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3). __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
