Happy Birthday Patrick!

Realized quite by accident the other day how much power I felt when I FROZE my Right Forearm Angle of Approach by cocking my right thumb up and in reality achieving a maximum Bent Right Wrist! Whole Power Package came alive! Keeping my left elbow synched-up with my left Hip produced a "free-wheeling Forward Swivel and a high draw and a solid thunk of the club with a dynamically formed Horizontal Hinge. Turns out I was Chicken-winging and not Swiveling and not Horizontal Hinging.

Imagine my joy when I saw this:

Dear Yoda,

I have been trying to freeze the bent right wrist as I "drive load" the handle on the downswing in a crossline direction. It has taken the hook out of my drives I guess by eliminating any flippy hand garbage. Does this make sense?



JG33,

Absolutely it makes sense to 'freeze' the Bent Right Wrist in an effort toproduce better Golf Shots. Also, be sure to extend your concept to include the entireRight Forearm Flying Wedge assembly -- the On Plane Right Elbow, Forearm,Bent Right Wrist, #3 Pressure Point and its Lag Loading, the Stressed (Bent)Shaft and the Lagging Sweetspot. It is that entire unit that is taken UpPlane to the Top, delivered Down Plane into Impact (2-F and 7-3) and sustainedintact until the Both Arms Straight Position (the Follow-Through / 8-11).

And while the Right Forearm Flying Wedge will actually be On Plane only duringthe Release and through Impact, it should Feel continuously aligned inits own plane from Fix to Follow-through. This is an incrediblyimportant Feel that must be mastered if you hope to achieve anywhere close toyour potential as a golfer.
