Am I on the right track?
 

I recently posted about fixing fat shots, and have been working on all of the suggested causes and solutions. After look, look, looking I believe that most of my fat shots have been as a result of prematurely throwing my right hand down at the ball (which I shouldn't be doing anyway, since I'm a swinger). I guess this would be called casting in pop instruction?

As a result of this motion, my right wrist unbends behind the ball, causing my left wrist to uncock too soon. Yesterday I hit some whiffle balls in my back yard, and focused only on retaining the bent right wrist past impact, at least to my left foot. No fat shots and my first beaver pelt divot on one shot! My first thought was, "Ah. Now, for the first time, I understand the structure and purpose of the flying wedges. If I retain the bent right wrist to both arms straight, I can't possibly flip."

Can you experts out there tell me if I am on the right track with this? Do I finally understand the magic of the flying wedges and a bent, level right wrist? Thank you in advance.

Hopefully,

Teach-I'm no pro.You are 'on the right track'with flat left wrist bent right wrist through impact.There is a bit more to the flying wedges than just that..hopefully one of our experts will help out .Good job though..:smile: happy divots

Ah yes....good good.

Ya that would account for hitting fat shots too.

When you unBend your right wrist the clubhead divebombs at the ground....

Your swing radius increases......it basically becomes a flip of the coin whether you hit it ok, fat, thin (you pull up to try to not hit it fat), etc.
