[O.B.Left]

Im 51, live in Toronto. Dont play for more than a beer. Still like to play in some amateur tournaments. My "goto" is whatever is working. When I grind, I dont know what Im thinking about to tell you the truth. Not mechanics , not if Im grinding well anyways. Maybe its as simple as how to get from A to B when things are working. Sort of like playing for shape in snooker or pool. If im thinking about mechanics Im either practicing or in big trouble when playing. Which happens to everyone I guess. I saw Justin Rose on Masters Saturday getting a full on lesson. He'd lead after round one , blew up round two and was searching for something for round three. For me I find it best to just find something, a punch shot or whatever to get you out of there. Its like acting , you just cant be in your own head, I dont think.

Crappsmacker is a new convert to Hitting I believe. Notice the Hitters Top.

Only Lynn would now if he was Hitting or Swinging there. Its really hard to notice the difference visually with some people. Maybe a bit of thrusting in that last pass at the bag at Both Arms Straight, just guessing though.

Yes if the shortening right side of the triangle cocks the left wrist, lengthening it will uncock the left wrist. I see this in my downswing when I dont necessarily want it...........as the left arm pulls away from the shoulders (which can only mean the right arm is lengthening) , the Left Wrist uncocks. So for me anyways, I have to keep that Right shoulder turning to delay the release. Its not a wrist thing, despite first appearances. Hanging on to wrist cock in an effort to delay release is ill advised.

A slightly bent left arm at address isnt all bad. Lots of great players do it. I believe there is a post in here somewhere where Lynn introduces Brian Gay to Larry Nelson and the two discuss that very issue. Both those players have a soft arm at address, I think. CF or an adoption of Extensor Action will stretch the Radius to full length. Id imagine you'd have to straighten it out for Impact Fix so your Radius from left shoulder to ball, is properly measured. To properly establish the point in 3D space for the left shoulder. Never thought about that before though. That would mean the clubface would not be directly behind the ball given the shortened radius I think? More towards the toe when the club is hovered slightly off the ground even.

Your push is clubface related, Id imagine. Open face. It could be a product of many different things. Hopefully your pro can give you the diagnosis you need to fix it. Dont blame the new inside out Arc of Approach for it, its not that. Not if you are tracing a straight plane line. Its not clubshaft in other words. The ball leaves at right angles to the clubface at separation.
