Look at the angle of his right forearm and clubshaft going into Release. This is a good indicator of just "how much" his Right Wrist is Cocked. He will need to uncock the right Wrist. Uncocking the Right Wrist presents an almost impossible situation. You can Uncock, then Roll, but you would need to uncock precisley to Level every time. He can't. So he Keeps uncocking and Angle Hinges. His left Wrist Bends after impact. His Right Wrist is playing Ping Pong.
It's sad. He does so much right.
Daryl,
Is this due to the appearance of a more acute shaft angle relative to the right forearm in the prior frame with no real "obvious" change in the angle of his right forearm and right upperarm (I think that's what I see). I'm assuming that the only way to get more left wrist cock while maintaining a level right wrist would be to have the angle between the right forearm and upper arm "decrease".
Also.... it does look like he maintains a slightly bent LW coming into release.

I don't think so. Look at Frame 11 - the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground and at 90 degrees to his right forearm.
Grab a Club and get into this posture. The Clubshaft cannot be parallel to the ground with your hands at this location with a Level Right Wrist. Just try it. You’ll need to Cock your Right Wrist.
SG is a great, incredible, talented and fun to watch Pro. He cocks his Right Wrist. Most Golfers do to. Most all of the Pros do. The Pros hit thousands of Balls per week (new balls, not the ones we use to practice. And, they get free drinks, but that's another story). That amount helps maintain their hand-eye coordination. They develop feel. They can shoot 10 under. They can make 30 foot putts.
Someday, you’ll see a Pro that doesn’t Cock his Right Wrist. Maybe not
Yes, he does have a Slight Bend in his Left Wrist. But not at impact. That's the least a Pro can do.

I don't know about all this . . . most of the dudes that lace it up out there say he is the best ballstriker out there.
If you look at Zach Johnson's motion vs. Sergio . . . who do you pick? I'd say if you chopped off Zach's head and put it on Sergio's neck . . .Sergio'd have won 5 majors by now.
Now a question . . . if you are going to have tons of trigger delay . . . is horizontal hinging the most effective hinging to use?
If a max trigger delay sequenced release does occur in a sequence then it will certainly feel more simultaneous to your little old brain... but i guess it does not have to be simultaneous in reality...
Daryl, did you say that to swing (CF force, horizontal hinge) with strong single action grip and max trig delay....you need to have a slightly bent left wrist at release point if you want to keep straight plane line??
Thanks for clarifying - i have not had much time for TGM book work ...easily confused now!
