Bergsey,

I fight a similar problem and I think mine stems from not executing a proper sequenced release. By that I mean that I often end up with angled hinging even though I classify my motion as a swing. It may be that I'm still in the non-automatic release stage of refining my swing, but for some reason I occasionally (and quite unintentionally) use a simultaneous release motion which usually results in what I call a "wipe" or a push, or a push-cut (unless of course I accounted for it at setup with a slightly closed face). I think Homer called it that "wilted" feeling, although I believe he used it in terms of not getting the right arm straight just after impact. (As I think about it, not properly executing a simultaneous release may indeed prevent the swinger from not getting full right arm extension as the clubhead may not exert as much "pull" if #2 isn't allowed to get fully released).

I just seem to get a better roll when I deliberately uncock the left wrist on the downswing. And it seems like the sooner in the downswing I do it, the better the result. For me I think it's the old "feels as if" thing. If I feel like I uncock right from the top it actually happens where it should. I get a much "heavier drag-your-wet-mop" feeling when I really try to deliberately release #2 in the downswing. And with the shorter irons I think there is a tendency to hold off on that #2 release as we try and over-control the face and ball flight direction.
