Illustration No. 2. The clubface does open. Is this due to going from a fix to an extreem adjusted address in the takeaway? But is this really pronation? In Hogans waggle Hogan goes to a flat left wrist and bent right wrist but goes on to say "For all general points and purposes, the backswing is simply an extension of the way the golfer takes the club back on the waggle." How can this be? The takeaway seems to be quite different from the waggle. Yoda says that Hogan has a single action wrist takeaway which seems to appear in the pictures. I guess the question is, do you need a standard wrist action to pronate? The snuff box and pronation continue to be a puzzle to me, but I will continue to work on it till I find an answere. Sure would appreciate your insite. I'd say he had more of a Lagging Clubhead Takeaway . . . It seems to me that his waggle is getting his hands more in a "delivery" condition than an Impact Condition. Plus it looks like he is prepping himself to get his right elbow "glued" to his rib cage. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
