I have recently been reading Tiger Wood's book "How i play Golf" and on the takeaway he advises to let your wrists cock naturally. However i also recently recieved a Nick Faldo and David Leadbetter video and they advise to fully cock your wrists on the takeaway. I have been using Tiger Wood's method and recently have been hitting the ball pretty well but still lack solid consistency, do you think Nick's method would be more consistent?

GGordon,

I think they are pretty much the same thing. In a naturally relaxed swing, the wrist cock happens in the takeaway when the club reaches the big toe to the 1/2 or 3/4 part of the swing depending on the player. It is an angled up and down motion.

The descriptions in the book and video are probably different ways of explaining the same motion.
