[O.B.Left]

I apologize in advance if the answer is right in front of me or already discussed. You see, I am trying to educate myself and inturn my hands. With a swinger, I understand you Karate chop down plane from top, left wrist uncocks, then rolls into impact. The question: Doesn't the uncocking left wrist require the right wrist to bend (at least some) if the hands are working together? Frozen right would seem to make more sense for a hitter where there is no Karate chop or left wrist and roll is at the same time. Thank you.

Not to get picky but...........I dont think you want to Karate Chop from Top. In Startdown ideally (after you have bumped a little left, a hip slide with a delayed hip turn, ie the right hip back or cleared) there is a period of Shoulder acceleration followed by a period of Arm acceleration. The Right Shoulder brings the arms down plane initially with the left palm riding the plane. The Power of the left arm separating from the chest (the #4 Power Accumulator, Pivot power) is Accumulated, Stored and Delivered to its Release Point. Sorry....... now Im apologizing. This is one aspect of the late hit, its not just the late left wrist uncock of common golf speak.

The Left Wrist Uncocking, #2 Power Accumulator, is also Stored and Delivered in to its Release Point. The right wrist cock and uncock is not a source of power and so has no release point. So dont fire things off from Top, that is way to early for full power, maybe as a special low power procedure like a lob shot maybe.

I know what you mean about the right wrist uncocking thing. I scratched my head for a bit on this too, maybe everyone does. But stick with the frozen right wrist concept and the on plane Right Forearm. With time you will see it , feel it, love it. It is perhaps the chief advantage of TGM knowledge. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge, a structural law of nature that cant be re written. Like the wall built perpendicular to the ground , there is no more structurally sound alignment. It's there at impact for all of the best players, baseball hitters, tennis players etc etc etc. Homer reasoned that its best to maintain it throughout the golf swing.

Here is a little thing to help you conceptually. Take a golf club, real or imagined and split your hands apart a foot or so. Now imagine that about half way into your back swing your right elbow bends while your right wrist remains frozen and on plane, no cocking, this should however cock your left wrist. Try it again. Sort of like a crane or some sort of industrial machinery, a piston lengthening or extending to actuate a lever (cock and uncock the left wrist). Or geometrically, like a triangle with one side shortening and a corresponding increase in the angle opposite it.

Hope this helps. Right wrist cocking and uncocking makes golf so much harder. Each degree of cock is a degree further away from the strong structural advantage of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. Some may say it doesnt matter as long as you get to impact with the RFFW assembled. This may be logically true but somewhat inconsistent at best, highly disruptive at worst. The latter being the far more common experience. Right wrist cock and uncock or bend and unbend is not a source of power anyways.

If you are like me you will start to feel all of this in your swing with the introduction of Extensor Action. Dont give up on it. This is key stuff. Power, consistency, structure.
