As you say the left wrist must be flat at impact, a straight line down the left arm, straight wrist straight shaft.i.e on straight line, the right hand should be cupped at impact like Greg promotes, then releases after impact.

Greg's right hand drill is based on a standard impact drill, i.e if you had an impact bag your shoulders would be opening up as the right arm in a straight line with the shaft comes into impact, the right wrist must remain cupped until the split second after impact.

I would suggest there is only 3% of golfers that ever achieve this position and they are on the two main tours.

Thanks Ian, I think I follow that about the right hand drill, I will ponder on it a bit.

I don't promote flipping of the wrists or scooping the ball but the Puck Release does push the club forward through the ball at impact, you must have achieved a good weight shift and downswing to use it though.
