Hmm? Then I don't understand the problem unless you're losing the Flat Left Wrist. You should have a good Finish Swivel. ??

I think you hit it on the head. I think I am losing the flat left wrist. Flipping at impact but I am working at it.

This is key for me.
The feeling of the swivel is very different now that I know what its like to not throw it away, if the Wedge is maintained through the impact it is a foreign feeling to swivel correctly to the top. I am struggling with it.

gmbtempe,
After discussing the finish swivel with Yoda, and learning what it should really feel like, I have been working on it with the Taly. What a great device for learning a flat left wrist finish swivel. When done properly, the difference is both amazing and immediate!

I know Bennett and Plummer may be 4 letter words around here but I really learned a lot about the flying wedge in their video. I guess I always thought once the ball was hit the wedge was dumped but not realize that its taken all the way to at least arms parallel and I think Yoda states somewhere its taken all the way to the top.
If this is wrong please correct me, that was my interpretation.

IMHO Alignment Golf is all about structure. I am learning to take the FLW all the way to finish. P-B are wonderful teachers. Not a 4 letter word here at all. While the ideas are different, I believe there is a mutual respect.

First post and desperately in search of flat left wrist...
I have been struggling immensely w/ applying this part of TGM to my game for over a yr now...So, just so Im following this correctly, when centrifugal force take over the left wrist is flat all they way to finish? The feeling that comes to me forearms simply turn over? Am I on right track here?

Could you go further to explain finish swivel w/ the Taly? Or better what you mean by what it should really feel like? Or better yet what your feel is? I have the Taly, I want to make sure Im not missing something.

I work on feeling the left wrist move to level while rolling then uncocking with the left wrist staying flat, never passing the red ball of the Taly. I try to feel the handle of the grip pointing at the gutter when my right forearm is parallel to the ground, P8, to me that is the key to what I am trying to accomplish, getting the shaft to go back up the plane line. Can't do it without a swivel of the flat left wrist.
When done properly, I hit wedge about 10 yards further, higher, and straighter than my pre-swivel, slappy swing. Maintain the flying wedges. STRUCTURE.
Man, trying to explain my feels, I'm afraid I may have butchered this. A little help from the more experienced?
Thanks,
Kevin
