I stated i have a flat lead wrist at impact on all good shots and on occasion a slight flip. I'm fine with that. I thought you said you could only speak for your own swing as to the bowed wrist? I say it isn't natural or automatic and i said why in a previous post. If it was everyone who has a good swing would have it and that's just not the case. It's up to the person who made the claim to provide real evidence to support the claim otherwise it's anectodal and opinion. I provided a link to a couple of my swings the video is not the best as it was taken with a cheap digital camera. flic.kr/p/95Q8sJ flic.kr/p/9vZDPT

maybe I can be of any help concerning the flip. Flipping means that the club is going faster than the hands, thus you have stopped turning, thinking you are ready with the swing. The whole idea is to keep the body turning, because when the body keeps turning the arms keep turning and the hands that are attached to the arms keep going and finally the club. When one is too ball-oriented you stop too early. You need to have the intent to turn around the axis continuously. The ball happens to be present in that swing-circle. Or if you are not stopping, you are turning slower with a rpm lsower than the rpm of the club.... If you keep turning, then it will go automatic. Because you are setting the wrists in the impact-position in the backswing and you never want to loose those wrist-angles, because you keep turning (after the lateral transition). This is also where I think the rhythm comes from: you know your hands are in impact-position, you know you have to turn and turn your body to keep those wrist-angles, because then the club will never outrace the body and arms (also known as hand-controlled pivot) and you will never flip. You can also say that you are swinging your hands. One more key here is to turn in the same rpm, for perfect alignments. But thinking about the hands and where they are and knowing that your body has to keep turning to keep the arms/hand in front of the club will give you automatic a rhythm. I was a flipper and I still know how I had to exaggerate the feel of keep-turning to get rid of the flip. The swing becomes funny enough uncontrolled, but precise, instead of controlled (ball-oriented) and instable. And your distance will increase. I am not "freezing" my hands or wrists, It is indeed just an orientation, because the turning will keep the angles...

It's up to the person who made the claim to provide real evidence to support the claim otherwise it's anectodal and opinion. First, I am not making a claim. I am stating a true FACT that I experienced for many years of practicing and playing the game. I have never consciously TRIED to bow my left wrist. It just happened. It's not an opinion nor is it anecdotal. I have no desire to argue with the arbitrary. Doing so accomplishes nothing. Your post seems to be questioning my character and integrity. You are stating that I am indeed not telling the truth about my own personal experience. That's not allowed in this forum. It's personal. I do not doubt anything that you said regarding your flat wrist or flipping. You should extend to me the same courtesy. This thread has reached an end and I am locking it. Thanks to all for your participation in it. Feel free to create another thread for whatever subject you chose. Rand
