"Ask yourself these questions. I wouldn't ask him unless you want a fight. I don't know if you're a Right Arm Swinger but that would be very unusual."
Good Point..Thanks. The instructor and I have a better than a typical golfer/instructor because I knew him 35 years ago and he got me into one of Homers' first classes in Seattle. I didn't realize at the time how important Mr. Kelly would become in the golf community. I didn't have the sense to stick with it because I couldn't understand how to establish clubhead lag.
Now I finally get it.
As to your question about pushing; I noticed that I was pushing my 7 iron as well as longer clubs. Not so much with wedges.

Wow, you have a very interesting History. You're going to have to tell us more about those classes. I'm still learning Lag. It's so easy to talk about, so much harder to do it.
Are you using the same amount of Right Wrist Bend and Perfectly Flat Left Wrist for All of your Clubs? That might be why you're pushing/or Fading your longer Clubs. You run out of Swivel before you swivel.
Try this experiment. At the top of your Swing, ARCH your left Wrist (Pre-Swivelled) and see if the Ball goes straight. If it does, then I guessed correctly by saying that you have too much Right Wrist Bend for the Longer Clubs.
This is what works for me regarding clubhead lag. At address I feel pressure on pp#3 on the first pad of my trigger finger on the aft of the grip. At the end of my backswing the pressure on pp#3 shifts to the crease of the knuckle towards the palm of my hand. Then as I get almost into impact I can feel the pressure point move out towards the 2nd crease (knuckle) out towards the end of my trigger finger.
I played very well today (only hit one poor drive). My swing thought was to throw my wrists (allowing the uncocking of my left wrist) out towards the inside quadrant of the ball, keeping
the relationship of my arched left wrist facing down to the ground on top of the right hand which is facing up towards the sky. There is a feeling of throwing out across the target line.
Is that using a wrist throw as a trigger? Just wondering if I am on the right track. It sure seems to be working.

It sounds correct. Hopefully the "Wrist Throw" starts at release. If the Throw starts at the Top of your swing its a "Hand Throw". But then your swing would feel like a big circle and that doesn't sound like what you're doing. So, I think you're fine.

No...you're using a right arm trigger!!! Check out any text by Sam Snead....Sam uses a wrist throw trigger.
I have been told that one can let the right wrist flatten after impact if you swing with the right arm as opposed to keeping it bent with a left arm swinger.
If that is true then the challenge, would seem to me, to make sure that it doesn't straighten until after impact.

That's correct. Set-up with the correct amount of Left Wrist Bend and Right Wrist Bend for the Club Choice. Maintain that degree of Left Wrist Bend Throughout the Swing.
