I second this (except for the little baseball bat ). Instead of focusing on the left wrist roll, they should be talking about using the back muscles and lats to roll the wedges.
Hah. That little baseball bat thing , aka "fastest move in golf" its not a left wrist only thing either. Though it might look like it is . Left wrist only could break the left wrist , loss of Rhythm resulting . Loss of Left Arm Flying Wedge , loss of Radius length (swinging from the hands) , therefor loss of mass, to say nothing of structure , club face .
The more I get into Homers Rhythm , capital R... the more I think its responsible for the bad shots we see on tv by the best in the game. Its that important I believe. I dunno. But you can still have a common speak "full release" and maintain Rhythm. Thats when the good ball striker becomes a great ball striker perhaps. I know this will sound old fashioned to some. That swinging left with what we call angled thing is sweeping the nation like the British invasion.
Some day somebody is going to invent a Rhythm drill that will become so popular that itll be seen on every practice tee the world over. Some day.... eh, Ted? Can you copyright a drill? Can you buy shares in a golf drill? Golf drill futures?
If they ranked above the Imperatives, wouldn't they be the Imperatives?
Not really, U have to know the difference.
Let me try an find an example:
Breathing is an essential
Walking the fairways is an imperative on the PGA tour.
The tour pro must be in good enough shape to have good and comfortable breathing or he/she will not be able to walk well.
The pro's must train himself to walk and play at a reasonable rate. If he can't he will loose strokes and have a poor round.
Not a great example but it will serve the point.

I agree with HB here, never use the left hand "alone " to manipulate a Flail Action or a Hinge Action for that matter . Hinge Action is defined by the Left Hands alignment to one of the three basic planes but its not done by the Left Hand!! The entire Primary Lever moves as a unit. Everybody gets this wrong at first, some never move on . Elk , some GSED's talk about full rolls , half rolls of the left hand etc but that's not quite right , close but not correct .
Quote:
Ball Behavior (p. 100)
The Hinges are actually “mounted” at the Left Shoulder but the real control comes with moving or holding the Left Wrist in the positions called for by the respective Hinge arrangements. The Hinge Action Control is required only from Impact to the end of the Follow-through. Except, of course, when the Stroke Pattern Wrist Action dictates otherwise.
The Left Wrist is controlled by the On Plane Right Forearm Wedge and its Angle of Approach while moving toward Low-Point.

You sound so resolute . Must it always be so? Does one have to manipulate the Right Forearm Flying Wedge to Roll the entire Primary Lever ? I don't when left side Flailing. But I do when swinging my Right Side. Not talking Right Arm Swinging ... I still have the left shoulder as the centre when doing this. (Right Arm Swing being defined by having the Right Elbow as the centre of the Radius)
I do think that as goes one Wedge so must the other to maintain their 90 degree or smaller relationship.
I think that the Club needs to stay On Plane during the impact interval.
I always enjoy reading your posts, Daryl. They make me think.
Hogan lowered his head towards and through impact. Luke Donald raises his head through impact. I'm thinking that the guy who dips his head is pushing more and the other is pulling more.... and that the guy who is pulling more will get both ends of the club on the same plane sooner. Eventually even Hogan was pulling 100% but that was (I think) way after impact.

A little thinking will show that the only part of the club that can be on plane in the Impact Interval is the Sweetspot, while the shaft is below the plane.
Your examples are the opposite of what you think. Hogan is pulling from release all the way to his anatomical limit at the finish, while Donald is throwing the arms/club through Impact with his Right Shoulder.

It depends how you define THE plane. I see most guys planing the Right Forearm and Shaft at Impact. Well , Homer did allow for a clubhead or sweetspot only deal too, but ... ah crap. Geometry in words sucks the big one.

No manipulation of the Right Forearm. Simply keep it On Plane. That's all.
LOL. 24 components. Mix em up any way you want. The Right and Left Wedges are not components.
