You keep saying that the Flat left Wrist is rooted in the “Flail”. That is incorrect. The Flat Left Wrist is rooted in the “Lever”. A lever exists whether the Left Wrist is Visually Flat or by definition, Geometrically Flat.
The Flat Left Wrist has IMPERATIVE Status only at Impact regardless of Grip To Plane, because "If and Only If" the Flat Left Wrist Exists can a Lever Exist.
The Bent Right Wrist would be a Corollary Imperative if the Flat Left Wrist is an Imperative. The Bent Right Wrist may be the Imperative. "?"
Ahhhh . .. but wait a second my studious friend . . .
even if it is bent before impact . . . IT STILL MEETS THE DEFINITION OF A LEVER . . .because you still have the Secondary Lever so the principle is still there . .. maybe not for full power shots . . . but very useful for short game shots and lob shots.
Remember Homer didn't operate in degrees . . . Flat (or In Line) is Flat every single time and can be visually ascertained . . . Bent on the other hand becomes a matter of degrees . . .how much Bent? . . . enough to be Flat . . .
AND . . . How's about this here?
We have
1. Flat Left Wrist
2. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point
3. Straight Plane Line
but NO BENT RIGHT WRIST.
And the whole Horizontal Hinge Swinging that you soooo got the hotts for.
1. Flat Left Wrist
2. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point
3. Straight Plane Line
but NO BENT RIGHT WRIST.
Thanks for posting this, Bucket. This is the ad absurdum photo -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum -- so often used to refute the Ideal Impact Alignments -- Flat Left / Bent Right -- of the The Golfing Machine. Yet, only the selfsame work can explain it!
The concept of "Straightness" isn't important to the Lever but the concept of "Rigidity" applies. The Club and Left Arm must travel together. Extensor Action for Hitters, does what CF does for Swingers. EA offers other benefits, but that's another discussion.
