My two cents on this. I was getting lessons about 6 months ago. The Pro had me pronate (wrist cup\wrist cock) on my take away. Picture holding a tray of food at the top of your backswing rather than hitching a ride on the motorway...) I used to turn/rotate my wrists on take away and cock my thumb towards my shoulder--now the back of my hand is cupped towards th e top of my forearm. My iron play was a bit average in distance. I hit two shots with the pro suggestions and all of the sudden my shots had feel, excellent ball flight, snappy, and excellent distance. My 8 iron went from 120YD (don't laugh...) to 155YD in a single lesson. I found that I could concentrate more on rythm and tempo and start to dial in shots/aiming.... My short iron play was transformed. My driver also benifited greatly...the yardage increases were not nearly as signifigant---but I was already a long hitter with the driver...
After playing this in my game for the last 6 months, my short game has really benefited as well as my driver (accuracy seems better with lower penetrating ball flight), but I am having issues with long
irons and fairway woods----if I am not careful I will develop a snap hook with these
clubs---I might be cocking too much now and need to get another lesson on my long
irons... Sometimes Pro's have you practice something in exageration to fix things, as you get better at the exageration you need to dial down a bit. We will see....
Wrist cock fan...
