[O.B.Left]

Jeff

Did you see Tiger today? Man that guy is going to be good some day, eh?

To answer your question. I think:

-as crazy as this may sound, Tiger's slightly arched left wrist at top and in release is questionable technically given his grip. Hoganesque maybe but not Hogan like. See Chuck Evan's web sight for a discussion on this. I am merely reiterating here and dont wish to be in Tigers bad books should he be reading this. For the record.

-when you moved your left arm from horizontal to 45 degrees you did not maintain your left arm flying wedge. The club face moved to an open, not square to you left forearm position. I think you are suggesting this a natural occurrence when the left arm moves below shoulder level but I don't understand why.

-perhaps you are misreading the flat left wrist mandate. Try cocking and un cocking the left wrist while maintaining the LFFW (and in so doing the associated square to the left forearm club face alignment) and see what your left wrist looks like. This to me is flat in all its variations.

My apologies if I misunderstand your insights as I am merely a seeker like yourself.
