Yes in a way. The Left Wrist ideally cocks and uncocks on plane. Its range of motion goes from Fully cocked to fully uncocked. This is a major source of power for the Swinger, the so called Power Accumulator #2 with its associated Pressure Point #2. Most every good golfer makes contact with Left Wrist in a Level position but on its way to Fully Uncocked.........there a little mustard saved for the ball. Most every good golfer makes contact with the Right Arm on the Plane of the clubshaft. And so Homer reasoned it would be easier , more efficient to simply start from a similar position at Address. The left wrist level, the right arm on the same plane as the shaft. Research "the Flying Wedges".
TGM is a catalogue of swing components, trillions of them, there is no one way thought Homer but if there is a tell tale sign of a TGM practitioner this "ARm Set" at Address would be it.
It is awkward at first, with Lynns guidance it took me a few hours before I stopped reverting to low hands. But when you get it, it'll make a difference. The secret to setting the Left Wrist at Level is to adjust it with the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
Its not a common look at Address , its awkward at first but Hogan , Knudson , Moe Norman and others did it. Ill never go back. In the course of a lesson with Lynn he'll touch on this early , maybe even first thing.
The Flying Wedges are structure plane and simple. Like a wall stands at 90 degrees to a floor in the ideal. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge whether you're Hitting or Swinging is a mechanical alignment that will obliterate the ball. Interestingly , if you grab a club try to bend the shaft with the head buried in the ground ............you will naturally adopt this alignment in your effort. Like the wall being at right angles to the floor , its just the way things are. Its not a golf law its a universal law.
