bts,

I've never heard of anyone recommending unbending the right wrist. Isn't that clubhead throwaway, and aren't you destroying the flying wedges.

The only time I've heard of unbending the right wrist is if the right wrist was bent to the point where the left wrist started arching, then the right wrist would need to unbend to the point where the left wrist was flat through impact.

Otherwise, I have always heard the right wrist described as bent or frozen.

"Hitting" is about "maximizing the shaft bent" (or "lag") through impact by pushing the grip (against the inertia of the clubhead and ball) with both arms and hands, which can be achieved with the help of "unbending the right wrist", along with "straightening the right arm" and "rotating (and/or sliding) the pivot".

Try it to see it!!

Unbending = Flattening
"Unbending the right wrist" = Flattening the right wrist = Bending the Left Wrist = Instant Throwaway.

With correct timing, bending the left wrist (or its equivalent of unbending/flattening the right wrist) does actually increase clubhead velocity. But you pay a big price for that little extra.

True tongzilla...but it does not "maximize shaft bend" as bts describes - what this does is to destroy swing radius and 'mass' of the swing. The disadvantages far outweigh any benefit.

Comdpa,

I now second and third your post!

BTS, the only time I would unbend right wrist is to hit a flop shot.

I still can't see how more power can be achieved by the same method employed to allow for compression leakage?!

Brandon, I think this pretty much sums up our position.

Per 4-D-1: "Any loss in Impact Fix Right Wrist Bend during Release immediately becomes Left Wrist Bend - Clubhead Throwaway; which starts the Club swinging from the Wrists - in an "inside" and "upward" motion - the Clubface is rapidly Closing and the Clubshaft becomes "in-line" with the Right
Forearm instead of with the Left Arm.

Learn to LOCK the Left Wrist in the Flat Position at any time or at all times. However, there are times when you do not want a Flat Left Wrist. (Study 2-K, 3-F-6, 6-B-3, 6-C-2-A, 7-2 and 7-18 to become a skilled Hand Manipulator.)"
