Based on what I've read, Immelman is actually trying to do that horizontal move. He must be doing it post impact or he'd be hitting it all over the map. That'd be hard to time IMO.
Based on slides 13 and 14 it appears to be a misguided attempt to finish swivel. The finish swivel can be done just as easily without bending your left wrist through impact.
Ive seen some pro's that have a post impact look like this, Sergio included. What is the deal with the flip here?
It appers more pronounced than even a "soft left wrist" its downright bent
A while back, I worked with a PGA TOUR player who had been following the advice of two very famous instructors. Collectively, and over a period of THREE years, they had been instrumental in his acquiring the "Immelman Golf Magazine" alignment. I won't disclose the name of the player here -- he was to win a few months later -- but at this stage of his frustration, "MC" was his middle name.
But, once he understood the true nature of (1) "wide" during the Stroke (vs. World Famous Instructor #1's version) and (2) the "release" (vs. World Famous Instructor #2's version), he began pounding the ball as he had not done in years. An hour into our session and with both of us in awe of these outstanding results, he dropped his club to the ground, put his hands on his hips and stood tall. With fire in his eyes, he stared at the horizon and said:

There was no smile on his face.
"I've wasted three years of my life."
Better late than never.
It truly is AMAZING at what passes as good instruction . . . even at the highest levels a bad concept can wreck everything.

Gotta say, I've felt like that for the past 15 years. From '93-'00 and then for quitting the game for the past 8 years due to frustration and being burned out.
That statement by the Tour pro is completely and utterly dead on.

Great story - Thanks

extensor action and horizontal hinging back up the plane has made a world of difference in my game, I cant imagine what a revelation it would have been for tour guy w/ talent.
A friend was working on the range near one of this area's deans of golf instruction. He is considered one of the go-to guys if one is in need of quality instruction.
Instructor is teaching a 14 year old girl and states something along the lines of
"the rotation of the body causes the ball to draw or hook" to this girl, her father and a younger sibling.
I hope she can find a TGM instructor soon.
