Wrist Cock ?????

Re: Wrist Cock ?????

Just because I am thick:
-no flipping,
-hands rotate back on the backswing and forward through impact and into the follow through, and
-no abduction or adduction (up and down) of the wrists.

Is that what you are saying?

No you are not thick Charles. And yes, that's almost what I am saying, except for minimal up and down.

Ok I understand ... finally.

To quote myself, "Yeah ... hmmm ... my suggestion ... don't do that."

I stand by my earlier statements that your swing speed will be less than if you have some abduction and adduction because you will be able to maximize your COAM transition speed.

Mr.Dante's right forearm and shaft are on plane.
Looks like this at impact.

Love the pants. Wish it was in colour ... my guess bright yellow.

Are you saying this is Mr Dante in the photo?

It looks suspiciously like Mr Trevino! Looks like he borrowed the trews from Ian Poulters Grandad.

Morning Brian!

Re: Wrist Cock ?????

Morning Brian!

Feeling better today?

Re: Wrist Cock ?????

I am thank you. Every so often I get migraines in the form of pain in the neck/base of the skull.

Only way I can get rid of them is to sleep them off.

Very annoying.

Bright as a button this morning though!

Thanks for asking.

Can't believe we're gonna get snow this week. Just when I thought it was safe to go out and play...........................

Hi,

My OP was not really a debate on whether to roll the wrists or let COAM do it for you, it was whether cocking and uncocking the wrists in an up and down motion (as much instruction promotes) actually adds any significant power to the shot and that it may also be a factor that brings the club off plane for many people.

Re: Wrist Cock ?????

So Brian ... with your wrist concept it would be next to impossible for the shaft to be parallel to the ground at the top of the backswing right?

Ah. My experience is a loss of power from dorsiflexion/palmarflexion (like swatting a fly). I lose power because the club drops too low at the top and the arc is narrower. The end result is the clubhead travels a shorter distance. I get more power from maintaining a flat left wrist at the top and only flexing the wrist by inversion/eversion (like a karate chop). The club drops higher at the top, the arc is wider, the clubhead travels a longer distance.

You're correct!
Sorry meant it for this post.
