right hand drill

Apart from my now mandatory "swing easy" swing thought, the only other thing I do is to try to remember to get to a good full finish on all full shots...

No thoughts of anything else...'

Other than mongrels behind hitting up it seems....!!!!

Cheers

I do not advocate the breaking of the wrists on the horizontal plane (left and right), but up and down is essential (vertical hinging).

I like AJ's power move. He uses rotation coupled with extension of the leading wrist. This is basically the same thing I am trying to get you to do by only hinging the wrists up and down. I just don't like to mention wrist/arm rotation. The main reason I don't is because I like to emphesize full body rotation (the wall/impact drill) and that 98% of the time causes the arms and wrists to rotate without you having to think/force them. Any time a little action is focused on, that is all you do...just that one little action, and everything else takes a backseat. Focusing on bigger moves allows the little ones to fall into sync and just happen in a subconscience and relaxed state.

If after a lesson I see the full body rotation, good spine angle, wrists hinging only up and down AND STILL the ball pushes, then I will begin to mention tension as a cause...this 75% of the time will fix it (it then frees up the arms to rotate naturally) but there are those that just have body physics that need the actual focus placed on that move, and that kicks the rotation into place.

So absolutly, this power move CAN be applied with my swing system.

Your way sounds better to me Greg. Just can't be reading things that will essentially be getting the majority of people to lose even more lag early, and flip instead of turn.

Greg W. thank you for clarifying my queries. It make sense now. Your using the big muscle to swing by rotating the whole body and everthing follows it (shoulder, arm and hand). No wonder why the body is facing the target at impact.

I would like to thank Lowpost, Brian, Neil and others for their insight and comments.

I'll go to the driving range and practice the right hand drill, impact drill and the power move. I hope It will improve my iron shots.
