Impact and the Level Left Wrist
Originally Posted by Daryl View Post

The Steeper the Swing Plane becomes, then the more Uncocked the Left Wrist becomes at Impact.
The normal Impact Condition of the Left Wrist (Flat, Level and Vertical per Photo 5-A-1) is established at Impact Fix and is independent of the selected Plane Angle (and consequent Fix alignments of the Right Forearm, Waist Bend and Knee Bend per 7-16).

Because the Club can also be adjusted in the Hand without disturbing the Level Left Wrist, it is also independent of the #3 Accumulator Angle (6-B-3-0/B). For example, visualize a Zero #3 Angle created by holding the Club in the lifeline of the Left Hand while maintaining the Level left Wrist.

The Level Left Wrist at Impact is is one of TGM's great "samenesses", and for golfers wishing to simplify an already complex mechanism, it should be so understood.
