This obviously shortens the Swing Radius considerably because it now only extends from the Clubhead to the Left Wrist rather than to the Left Shoulder. It moves Low Point forward -- rather than being opposite the Left Shoulder, it is now opposite the Left Wrist.
But surely a Long Drive Champion such as David Molbey wouldn't be using an inferior procedure like this. He has one of the slowest clubhead speeds in the business, yet he is one of the best. Could this be the reason why?
How can TGM explain this?
Lets say he does this because he wants to hit down on the ball. But what's the advantage of this procedure compared with the standard one where you just place the ball behind the Left Shoulder without changing Low Point location?
I have more comments later. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.
Many people jump to the conclusion that the Left Wrist is Arched when they see this picture. But is it really?
What could be happening is this. David has his Aiming Point very far forward. This naturally delays the Release to the extent that the Clubhshaft cannot reach its in-line condition with the Left Arm before the Left Arm is vertical to the ground. This explains how he can have the ball after the Left Shoulder and at the same time not have the Clubhead ascending during Impact. All without an Arched Left Wrist. So here's something to think about for those who say that Low Point is always opposite the Left Shoulder when you have a Flat Left Wrist.
It may look unorthodox, but I think placing the ball well forward is a great way to learn how to hit down. Also teaches you to how to control the direction of your Thrust from the Top. Do this for a while, then place the ball back to a more 'normal' location, you will suddenly find it very easy to hit down.

I think the wrist looks LEVEL and TURNED moving to FULLY-UNCOCKED (FULL LEVER EXTENSION) and Rolled. Do you have the next pic in a sequence? How about these . . . Let's get learnt from these.

How about the Wedges on Duval. How could he miss it even with the Turned Left Hand. I would like to see his move now. With all the press he's gettin' on his improved play looks like we could find a recent sequence. He's back to being fat now. Which you gotta like. Winner!!! Winnner!!! Chicken Dinner!!!!!

I love your analysis Leo, and I must admit that I am guilty of stereotyping this "look" to be the product of an arched wrist.
As such, I have altered my original reply to your post accordingly.
