I went for number 4. Whether I am right or not is another thing :lol:

I say #1
 
because that is what Yoda always tells us to do when learning the wedges.

FIRM LEFT WRIST
 
I'm sticking with #3.

You know, I can look all day while hitting the golf ball and I can never tell by looking whether my left wrist is firm or not. You all must have better eyesight than I do. It's all a blur to me!

If I'm hitting into an impact back or doing drills, that's different, but on an actual swing I don't have a clue as to whether my wrist is firm or bent.
I think it takes a video camera to tell.

One thing's for sure, you read all five and may have learned from each. And that makes Yoda very happy! :mrgreen:

Thanks for voting!

#1 is my guess. Sounds sort of like the left hand dowel drill.

I voted #5, but have to say #3.

Anyway, I am having a hard time with this my self. And would appreciate if anyone could throw in a few causes and fixes related to this subject.

For years I've been struggling with inconsistent distances on full strokes. Several days, I struggle to carry 100 yards with the PW and on the better days I easily carry 110 yards with the GW.

Massive power leak. Due to improved game management this doesn't cost me as many strokes as it used to, but generally I drop more shots from T to green than in the short game. I have a handicap of 6, and at least 5 of them are from T to green.

Correlating with this inconsistency is the divots. They are generally much to steep and deep - and more normal when I on the rear occations strike the ball really well.

Having studied TGM, I have reached the conclusion that left wrist breakdown between release and impact is the cause. So I am working on keeping the bent right/stright left wrist through impact. But this is not so easy.

So: What are the major causes and fixes to left wrist breakdown - or should I say breakdown of the flying wedges?

Best regards,

Bernt
