Gary Player perfers cupped left wirst?
 
I confused what Gary Player discussed in TGA show regarding the flat left wirst and cup left wirst of Tiger and Hogan respectively. Gary Player perfers cupping!:think:

Yet you watch him swing a club, and he's got a flat left wrist at the top...

Really...I think what he's demonstrating Tiger doing is Single LWAction (w/ a slight Arch)...

Then I think he demonstrates Standard LWAction....but with a Bent left wrist.....which of course, you don't need at all (unless your grip is pretty Turned....i.e. strong grip- outside of TGM terms).

The cupped left wrist is a 'throw away preventer' in educated hands with full roll.

Moving from cupped to flat/arched is moving AWAY from throwaway. Using full roll to do it is using physics. Great for clubHEAD control, but can be a problem for clubFACE control if the role of the straightening right arm and elbow are not properly understood.

Do you mean Strong DBL Action with fully bent at the end or do you mean Strong Single Action with a slight bend?

As far as clubHEAD control, both are just as good at preventing throwaway, because if the wrist is slightly, or fully, bent at the top, but flat at impact, it must be moving from a position of throwaway (bent) to not throwaway (flat).

That said clubFACE control would require much more 'effort' without a pure swingers Rhythm (in which case, grip and top of swing position matter very little because CF aligns the face for impact). The advantage is that you can reach the 'limit' of FULL roll and not worry about a hook.
