Thank goodness we still have our "normal " swing B-T-W I sent you an e-mail Brownman. It's not right wrist action, it's right arm straightening to induce the hands' roll. Power from the right arm could have been used by Mike A. at the same time. Who knows? See the response to O.B. Well, I held my nose and went to JeffMann's site and he reminded me of something Mike Dunaway said about flippin' the left wrist precisely into impact. With the 1-ton freight train coming into impact that is accelerated inertial momentum any thing you do with hands or wrists at that point has no or minuscule effect. And you can hurt your wrist doing that. The roll power already being used is "the fastest move in golf" (Trolio) and has some real power of the #3 angle going for it. We only heard it from Mike Dunaway and neither he nor Mike Austin actually did it. So don't do it, you'll just screw up the direction control. If you want to try an A.J. Bonar immediate Finish Swivel over the top of the ball keeping the right wrist bent, I got no problem with that. Mark Evershed teaches it, TheDart (or PHart, familiarly) loves it and uses it in instruction. It's the feeling of an overspin ping-pong drive, but it actually happens after impact. If before, you'd drive the golf ball straight down into the ground, at best. (Maybe you could get buried-lie relief.) Dart sez "When you start hooking it you're almost home. Fix that by altering the delivery line a little right, a little more right, a little more right until the ball flight straightens up and then incrementally bring it back to square." Cheers.
