OB Left

I did maintain a 90 degree angle between the left forearm and clubshaft when I lowered my left arm to a 45 degree angle. However, I deliberately kept the clubface unchanged relative to the ground (and not relative to the left forearm) in the first sequence by keeping my left wrist very relaxed, while in the second sequence I kept the clubface neutral relative to the left forearm. However, to keep the clubface neutral relative to the left forearm in the second sequence, I actually had to actively palmar flex the left wrist while lowering the left arm.

The purpose of this little exercise is to suggest the possibility that one has to actively palmar flex the left wrist slightly to allow the left wrist to remain flat when the left arm is angled below left shoulder level in the downswing and the clubshaft is on plane.

But we are not interested in "relative to the ground"-only the selected plane?
