Look at the angle of his right forearm and clubshaft going into Release. This is a good indicator of just "how much" his Right Wrist is Cocked. He will need to uncock the right Wrist. Uncocking the Right Wrist presents an almost impossible situation. You can Uncock, then Roll, but you would need to uncock precisley to Level every time. He can't. So he Keeps uncocking and Angle Hinges. His left Wrist Bends after impact. His Right Wrist is playing Ping Pong.
It's sad. He does so much right.
I'm not seeing that at'all . . . look at all the prior frames . . . there's no evidence of any cocking there . . . none that I can see anyhow . ..

Daryl,
Is this due to the appearance of a more acute shaft angle relative to the right forearm in the prior frame with no real "obvious" change in the angle of his right forearm and right upperarm (I think that's what I see). I'm assuming that the only way to get more left wrist cock while maintaining a level right wrist would be to have the angle between the right forearm and upper arm "decrease".
Also.... it does look like he maintains a slightly bent LW coming into release.

I don't think so. Look at Frame 11 - the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground and at 90 degrees to his right forearm.
Grab a Club and get into this posture. The Clubshaft cannot be parallel to the ground with your hands at this location with a Level Right Wrist. Just try it. You’ll need to Cock your Right Wrist.
SG is a great, incredible, talented and fun to watch Pro. He cocks his Right Wrist. Most Golfers do to. Most all of the Pros do. The Pros hit thousands of Balls per week (new balls, not the ones we use to practice. And, they get free drinks, but that's another story). That amount helps maintain their hand-eye coordination. They develop feel. They can shoot 10 under. They can make 30 foot putts.
Someday, you’ll see a Pro that doesn’t Cock his Right Wrist. Maybe not
Yes, he does have a Slight Bend in his Left Wrist. But not at impact. That's the least a Pro can do.

I don't know about all this . . . most of the dudes that lace it up out there say he is the best ballstriker out there.
If you look at Zach Johnson's motion vs. Sergio . . . who do you pick? I'd say if you chopped off Zach's head and put it on Sergio's neck . . .Sergio'd have won 5 majors by now.
Now a question . . . if you are going to have tons of trigger delay . . . is horizontal hinging the most effective hinging to use?

SG is Gifted. He generates awesome Clubhead speed. The ball explodes off the Clubface.
The Right Wrist in the Driver Photo is not Level. It is fully Cocked. Look at the Driver Clubface. Simultaneous Release. SG is an Angled Hinging Swinger.
Trigger Delay? Use it effectively with Both Hinge Actions. But why Max Delay? What's the advantage? Why push to the boundries?

Now everybody out here knows that I'm about a marginally retarded . . . but that right wrist looks level to me anyway . . .
BUT . . . that being said . . . look at the video and compare Zach Johnson's swing to Sergio's through the release interval . . . the answer to your question is BALL GO FAR.
So if you go check the stats . . . Zach is more accurate that Sergio which stands to reason with that Sweepy swing . . . it's a good swing to hit the ball straight with the driver. BUT Sergio is on average 12 yards longer than Zach. They are about the same in GIR. BUT Sergio's swing will be much better out of the rough due to the much sharper Angle of Attack. Two feet from the ball Zach's clubhead is an inch from the ground. Sergio's is MUCH higher . . . there's POP in that decent.
I would like to see an analysis of Tigers release. Does he have a sequenced release? He is winning all of the money. Daryl.
Show me a Picture of his release and I'll tell you his Release, Hinging and what he had for Lunch. He has changed his swing ten times in ten years. Go ahead, pick a year.
I must have misled everyone somewhere among all of the threads.
Where did I say that the Pros are ardent followers of TGM?
Where did I say that any Golfer that Cocks his Right Wrist is doomed?
Where did I say that only Golfers that Don’t Cock their Right Wrist can become great Ball Strikers?
I have sincere respect for Golf Pros. All of us and all of them know that Talent, perseverance and hard work will overcome almost anything.
If all of the Pro’s in the world Cock their Right Wrist during the Backswing and Uncock it during the Downswing; does that prove it mechanically perfect? LOL. No it doesn’t. But it proves that it’s possible to Cock your Right Wrist and win a lot of money without perfect mechanics.
Have you ever heard of the Golf Channel? Have you ever listened to a Pro Golfer analyze his swing? It’s gibberish. I have to turn it off. LOL. And their Teachers? Rubbish. Almost every Word. Sometimes Clueless. The Blind leading the Blind. Am I being Harsh. Yes. Too Harsh? I'm not very diplomatic.
How many Pros have changed or adjusted their swing mechanics? How many Pro’s have you heard say that they use the same swing that they used ten years ago?
If you copy a Pro today...are you willing to change your swing when he does?
