Swinger Level Frozen Right Wrist?

[12 piece bucket]

OK . . . Is the Level Right Wrist as important for the Swinger? What does "frozen" mean? Does this work with "soft" wrists?

Holla back. . .

I would of thought so. Ok its not quite as 'Frozen' as a Hitter but it still needs to be maintain its bend (once one is in the backswing to impact and beyond)
My main fault with the right wrist is that it bends back more than it needs to and for me that leads to cocking the right wrist and flipping. So in my case I have to think and feel a 'Frozen' right wrist.

YES!

I believe Level is everything for both Swingers and Hitters. Level is being On Plane. Level is not being cocked.

Frozen means the wrist only works in the Plane it is assigned. Left- vertical and Right –Horizontal. A Hitter’s Flying Wedge assembly is more rigid than a Swingers. And the Right Wrist in both remains BENT and LEVEL without the intent of flattening it. A Swinger’s Right Wrist will flatten after impact due to the natural of the violent throw-out. It can even come off like VJ- no problem. Just be Level.
“Frozen” is not stiff and hard- just assigned to a Plane. Frozen from the wrong plane and soft within.

I agree Mike.

Indeed - proper wrist positions (level), flying wedges and a magic right forearm = G.O.L.F

They make the imperatives and essentials significantly easier to obtain
per 1-L.

Played golf this afternoon on a links style course near the Atlantic Ocean called McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links with a stiff wind blowing from all directions. First time on the course and couldn't buy a putt- shot an 81.
I switched to a Hit Stroke to keep the ball low and straight (one pollie) using the FIRST paragraph of 1-L to feed my coconut. Read it. Machine Feel, Left Shoulder Hinge, Right Arm piston, Adjustable Clamps with two-way power ACTUATORS (the Flying Wedges), etc.

This is the last sentence of the first paragraph: The more of this translation a player can accomplish the more understanding the procedures become.

1-L, the machine rocks. Feed it.

Is it really possible to keep the right wrist completely level throughout the swing while cocking the left wrist? Doesn't the right wrist cock up a bit as well? I've tried to keep my right wrist level throughout and just can't. Unless anyone has any suggestions how to improve I'm not sure I physically can do it.

Believe it!

You can definitely do it. Just about anybody can assuming they don't have any physical impairments.

The right elbow bend cocks the left wrist. Right wrist stays in its bent/level uncocked position. The left wrist simply loads in the last three fingers and you will have a conventional, shaft parallel to the ground top of swing if you are young and flexible (and if you aren't, no worries). The job of the right hand is to feel pressure point *3 load and sustain it.

Years ago I had to purchase a right wrist brace to believe it.

I think you are maybe looking in the wrong place for the real cause of your problem.

Its my bet that you are actively over-cocking your left wrist.

Just hold your left arm straight out in front of you and parallel to the ground, fingers pointing directly away from you, the back of the hand facing your target and the palm facing away from the target.

You should, at this point find that the the top of your thumb and and forearm are basically in line - or "level".

Now just make a fist. Viola! Your wrist is cocked, nothing more and nothing less. You do not have to add to it and cock your right wrist in the process.

Burner thanks for your post. I don't see or feel my left wrist cock just by making a fist the way you described. But this has been a great thread for me. What I think I might need to work on to keep my right wrist level is adjusting my left hand grip: I think I might be gripping too high in the palm, need to get the shaft more under the heel to get a more free hinging action. I'm going to experiment on the range this weekend.
