So add anymore bend to the right wrist and you arch the left (which "should" stay flat ideally I guess eh)...
...and you have something like the Manzella Twistaway eh.
I think I now fully see the merit in "pull your left thumb up the turned shoulder plane."
----------so arching the left wrist at the top means it shuts the face down big time and thus a cause of my hooks----------correct?
From my limited experience...... given that you can lock the arch and get the package back to the ball, you will hit it lower. However, the risk of fouling the Hinge is high. I admit to the guilty pleasure of using an arched wrist for a specific type of chip and short pitch.
But as soon as I stress it with a full swing, it becomes an unwelcome timing "game" to get the wrist back to flat at impact. At it's very worst you have created a horizontal cocking. Left to do it's thing, it will continue past flat at impact. Wrist breakdown. Goodbye hands ahead, hello left side of the course.
Been there, done that.... have the shirt and coffee mug.
Thankyou everyone. I've begun working on the frozen right wrist and have also increased me right elbow bend at the Top.
I think that in an effort to REALLY feel pp#1, in addition to the right arm, I have been thrusting with the palm of my right hand. That had the effect of increasing the right wrist bend and arching the left wrist. It still feels more powerful that way, so it will likely take some time, and some proof out on the course, to make this new feeling comfortable and take it all the way to a Habit. wish me luck
