Here is an excellent post from 12 piece bucket concerning the flat left wrist, however, it should also apply to this thread.

Full lever extension; in the words of the sage "Green Guy", "OBLITERATE" the plane line! The left wrist goes from level at impact into a fully uncocked attitude. Also, RHYTHM is most important. Mr. Kelley so significant that he contemplated giving it imperative status. Remember, each hinge action has its own unique rhythm and travel distance.

EC demonstrated this to me yesterday. If you do not go to Full Extension (Level to Uncocked), he showed me how you will end up off-plane. I do not have a problem with Flat but with full extension - Level to Uncocked. If you don't fully uncock, you don't get the full Downard dimension, you lose your paddlewheel and your swing is off-plane.

EC prescription - hit little shots from Fix finishing at follow-through both arms straight left wrist fully uncocked and club pointing at the plane line. Check your alignments holding the Follow-through. Did you get to full extension (uncocked)? Did you keep your left Flat right Bent? Are you pointing the club at the plane line?

The sound is TOTALLY different. No uncock = click . Full Extension = OBLITERATION = a very loud THUMP .

The feeling of impact is much different. The ball will feel MASHED like it was just FLATTENED by your 3 dimensional downstroke.
