Congrats on the 83.

Generally, the shorter irons won't smoke out the problem like long irons and the Driver.


Are you saying that ball position that's more to the middle will "naturally" accept a "really bent right wrist while a driver needs less bent right wrist and more pivot?

Yes. But Impact Fix will show that better than I can say it.

Ya know, a few things might be causing the Clubface to close inconsistently.

The easiest one to uncover is the "overly Bent Right Wrist". This makes it very difficult for CF to square the Clubface for Impact. The "Tally" can show that an overly bent right wrist also puts the "Swingle" out of line with the "Handle" (arching the left wrist). As it goes up, it will come down.

Call me crazy but I've been reading your posts for quite sometime. I don't think that your problems are zone 2 or 3.

Here's my two cents.

One only needs a good zone 2&3 to play 80's golf but one needs a great Zone 1 to shoot 70.

You know, I read this forum a lot. I found this a couple of weeks ago from Yoda and since he's very good at this stuff, I tried it, or I tried to interpret it:

Great post, Chuck!

Guys, we're talking 12-5-2 here, from Fix per 7-3.

Hips and Weight Left. Virtually no Pivot.

Flat Left Wrist and Bent Right.

Left Thumb and No. 3 Pressure Point dead behind the Shaft.

On Plane Right Forearm and Forward leaning Shaft.

Right Elbow Bend Start Up.

Load the Lag at the Top, then...

Drive it all the way DOWN to Both Arms Straight (8-11).

Vary your Hinge Action and Rhythm (2-G and 6-B-3-0) for the Shot at hand.


Watch any tape with Lee Trevino and a wedge and you've got this shot. It's pureRight Forearm / Elbow Magic with Sustained Lag Pressure to Both Arms Straight.

Hit 1,000 of these babies before you play your next round. Then send Chuck yourcheck.


So this works but it has limitations. Kevin and Gerry got me to flare my left foot out so I could pivot more easily. The damn problem is that my left leg was surgically broken and reset to make me walk with my foot forward not bent out to my left. My left foot can only flare a little and sort of "sneaks back" to straight ahead.

So I need a pivot? Hmmm? What if I stay aligned left? I read the "Lean and Load" article and that person speaks about lining up slightly closed to balance the pivot. Anyway, more pivot and pivot research and practice!

Onward! Thanks Daryl.
