Homer Kelley On How To Practice The Flat Left Wrist
The Golfing Machine - Basic
View Poll Results: Is there something we can do -- in practice -- to help keep the Left Wrist Flat?
1. "Take a 'short' grip on a club. Run the shaft up your left forearm and swing back and through until you've learned to keep the club steady and the wrist flat."
2. "You bend your wrist because you 'throw' the club past the hands. You must learn to eliminate any horizontal wrist motion. Practice short chip shots using only vertical and rotational motions."
3. "You can only practice keeping the wrist flat using a non-automatic release. Get a crystal clear picture of your wrist being flat when your hands get over the left toe, and make it your primary swing thought. Don't worry about the 'how'."
4. "You can't keep your left wrist flat unless you have rhythm. And the best way to learn rhythm is to practice short chip shots using each of the three hinge actions."
per 2-G HINGE MOTION - Roll” is actually imparted by the turning torso and/or the orbiting Arms per 2-K#4 and 2-K#5 as described in 10-18. Practice these motions first with open Hands cause of the Flat Left Wrist, must always travel at the same RPM as the Arms and reproduce the Hinging inherent in the selected Lag Loading procedure (10-19) per 4-D, 9-2 and 9-3, regardless of Clubhead Extension velocity. See 2-P and 7-18.
For a Practice drill, Educate the Left Hand (5-0) to reproduce – with Zero Pivot – the three Hinge Actions, distinct and separate, while swinging continuously back and forth. First without a Club, then with a short Club, then with both Hands. Then, with increasing Pivot motion using the Right Forearm per 7-19. Learning only one Action isn’t so helpful because you won’t know their differences
HOWEVER . . .
In 4-D-1 THE FLAT LEFT WRIST he says "Take a very “short” Grip and practice swinging back and forth with the top of the Clubshaft against the inside the Left Forearm until you can hold the Wrist steady with a normal Grip. So – there must be the Flat Left Wrist." That's #1.
