It creates an illusion that there is more movement (wristcock) than there really is. (1-C) Right you are, Mike O. With the club under the heel of the left hand and the wrist held Level with the left forearm, an angle is created between the left arm and clubshaft. This is not Wristcock with its obvious out-of-line condition of left arm and clubshaft. Instead, it is merely one in-line condition (the left arm and in-line Level wrist) meeting another in-line condition (the Clubshaft). This alignment is important because, when the Uncocking Left Wrist (Perpendicular Motion) is followed into Impact by the Swiveling Left Hand (Rotational Motion), the result is Transfer Power (from the Left Wrist to the Left Hand). Watching a PGA TOUR player executing a short chip or pitch shot can be instructive. Is he cocking his left wrist on the Backstroke . . . or is he merely maintaining its Level address alignment? The Master can execute his Stroke with or without Wristcock. Further, he understands and can control the significant Power implications. Here's Brian Gay at this year's PGA Championship at Hazeltine. His Level left wrist is the key to his amazing distance control.
