Flat left wrist - new thought ?

[12 piece bucket]

I know that the FLW has been discussed alot (anatomical / geometric / etc ) but it stuck me that the appearance of the wrist is really a consequence of the forces being transmitted through it IMO.

The COG of the clubhead will line up with the left shoulder when the club is at bottom of swing - right?

If, whilst holding your club, somebody were to grab the sweetspot between finger and thumb and stretch out the club and arm so that they form a taut straight line... then observe the left wrist condition....isn't the appearance of the left wrist in this condition FLAT ?

It is the longitudinal direction of pull that is undeniable and the force controls the appearance of the left wrist.... does FLW 'happen' if we let it ...or should we actively 'hold' it flat??

Simulating the forces in a correct swing might be a better way of describing the appearance of the left wrist...especially to newcomers??

Thanks for any thoughts...

GBdawg . . . You are on it BUT and this is a HUGE MONUMENTAL BUT . . . . the forces MUST be on plane forces and they MUST BE "LET" to happen . . . . any interference is a MAJOR DISRUPTION . . . . so the wrist must be trained to "LET" otherwise faulty forces and even more so FAULTY CONCEPTS will destroy the alignment.


So remember Flat is a GEOMETRIC ALIGNMENT with the club being in line with the left arm right. If the forces are properly aligned and laws not conflicting then it works out . . . . but if you got a faulty program in your 'puter . . . forget about it . . . if you got an off plane motion forget about it . . . if you don't go down and out on-plane forget about it . . . if you have round housing forget about it . . . you CAN'T leave it to chance or CF because it can be fleeting if you try to control or over power CF. You can Swing in your sleep as Homer said but you can for sure screw it up bad if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
