To allow the right side to work its' magic, can anyone post any pictures (face on) of good ball strikers in their follow through where their right arm is parallel to the ground for me please? I have a curiosity that needs to be satisfied.

I'm thinking that to allow the right side to fire through powerfully, and to stop the wrists flipping (which I think is a natural reaction to get the club coming back to the inside after impact) good ball strikers have a firm connection between their upper left arm and their turning torso, and actually fold the left elbow?

It seems that when I do this the clubhead comes through much faster and I have no breakdown of the wrists through impact.

Is this an erroneous observation?
Hi Neil, Wazupp!!

I think this video explains how to generate more club speed by actually slowing down the the hands at impact and retracting the left elbow back, a smaller arc is made with the hands that whips the clubhead through at speed
