The golfer can have EA, minimal pivot (acquired motion) and still have trouble maintaining the clubshaft's alignment to the plane line; wrist conditions (Mechanical Checklist, Section 4/5, #16) also play a role. Remember the left wrist cock is a vertical motion. Go to impact fix - then cock the left wrist vertically. This gives you the wrist alignments at top (and at finish)

I found my left wrist arched as I moved from startup into backstroke. This caused the need for a compensating move at top. Life got much simpler lately when I corrected this error.

I have some questions, sir, if you don't mind, for my own struggles.

If you start at Impact Fix, are you staying there to start the swing or simply rehearsing that positon?

Does your RFT vertically cock your left wrist or were you consciously trying to stand the club up vertically, or were you dragging it with hip motion?

I'm not trying to insult you, just discover my own answers to stupid things I try to do from time to time.

As you come down to the ball and to Both Arms Straight and to Finish, how are you aiming your shot? Are you Tracing the BLP? Sighting down your forearm or covering your front toes?

Thanks.
