Steps to a proper Finish Swivel

No doubt.

My left wrist is flat a bit longer than Lynn. So what?

Well the so what is just what Lynn is saying, The golf stroke works BACKWARD from a wobbly point and that point---even if it is after imapct---can start to cause problems.

I have had a LOT of success with golfers TRAINING them to keep the FLW through the finish. Like our friend jim_0068, after they LAERN it that way, they then can let it, as Lynn says, do what it wants.

....BUT....

...in the meantime....they are FIXED!
So, step 1 is to have a Firm, Flat Left Wrist, EVERYWHERE!

OK, HOW DO WE TRAIN THAT POSITION?

I have seen many Flat Left Wrists in my time, and I've got to tell you, I've never seen it done better than by Brian Manzella. When he graciously called me from his 21st PGA Coaching and Teaching Summit last month and handed the phone to his mentor, Ben Doyle, the First Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine, I was flabbergasted. [There are only a few times in life where that word works. This is one of them.]

My first question?

"Mr. Doyle, how did you teach Brian his Flat Left Wrist?"

His immediate answer:

"Chip. Pitch. Punch."

And there you have it, guys. Fifty years on the Tee in Three Words.

I am humbled.

There's more here. Much more.

Fasten your seat belts.

Bagger.

Trig.

Warp Speed!
"Chip, Pitch, Punch" the man said. We need a warm front in Philly!
