Smile Golfone Help please

I always liked the slight push down on the handle as I start the backswing to set the wrists, I remember you posted on this but cannot find it.
Can you summarize your thoughts on this method?

Re: Golfone Help please

Thanks for the quick reply. As a slim one planer with broad shoulders and good flexibility, I remembered what you posted years ago about the pressure being applied down on the handle on takeaway.
I thought it was a great tip and back then I tried it and it worked great for me; when my wrists get a bit sluggish and don't want to hinge enough due to an old flexor injury, I remember to push down on the handle to start the backswing and I am back to hitting those nice crisp irons and long drives with maximum wrist hinge.
Another feature folks may like about this is this little pressure has a tendency to put the club on plane at the top with a good shoulder turn. As you say, it frees up the shoulders.
Do you still recommend this?

Re: Golfone Help please

Thanks for the info.
Much appreciated.
I'm a long time one planer, doing that rotary pivot is what I do naturally-never had to learn it. It was there from the beginning-45 yrs. ago-and I never changed it although I did change a few teachers who tried to change it.
You are so right, the secret is in the hands.
