Re: Greg Norman's "secret"

I just don't get it at all !!

Why would you want to create cupping in your right wrist, at address or impact. It can only create an open clubface at the top and again at impact? The only way I can possibly see it working is if you allow your shoulders to be excessively open when you strike the ball. Again, why would you wish to do that??? This seems to create a flaw that you must introduce an opposite flaw to compensate.

I would suggest a glove on the left wrist that maintained the natural cupping at address through the swing would be more use.

This is either the Hans Christian Andersen's "Kings suit of clothes" or I am completely off track here. Please can someone explain how cupping can get your right wrist in the proper position at impact? My understanding has always been that the only movement of the wrists in the back and downswing is in an "Up and Down" direction and the palm of the right hand should face the target as it pushes through impact. If anything I would also suggest the opposite, that a controlled pushing forward of the right wrist under the left creates extra head-speed and keeps the clubface on target longer through impact.
