Here is a photo of Trevor Immleman during the followthrough phase of the swing.



One gains the "impression" that right hand is rolling under, and I think that it's merely due to fact that the right wrist passively deviates ulnarly during the final stage of the club's release action.

Jeff.
I think we may be looking at the same picture from different points of view.

I agree that it is released post impact. I don't get the impression of the right wrist rolling under, though. I do see that is flattened, even slightly flexed, in addition to being in a position of ulnar deviation.

Is it possible that the ulnar deviation is simply an effect, rather than a cause (club pulling the right wrist into ul. dev.)? I would think that with the momentum of the club moving at decent speed, it would be pretty difficult to prevent ul. dev. of the right wrist post impact.
