Golf and Hammering Crap
 

EC and I were talking last week about wrist motions and the uncocking and cocking of the left wrist. He brought up something very interesting to me. Look at these people hammering crap. Look at the condition of their left wrist . . . what do you observe? Now look at Freddie and Hogan. What are you seeing? Are there similarities? Are you seeing double wrist action? Are you seeing a natural motion?

If only it were so easy!!
 

It's a pity playing golf as well as Hogan or Couples is not as easy as hammering crap.
:BangHead:

Similar but not the same
 

Bucks,

I see the similarity in the way the right wrist loads, but as for the left wrist uncocking, I am stll in the fog.

Enlighen me, Bucks. I will pay up in moon pies.

UPP in foggy Ohio

Look at the LEFT WRIST . . . . as compared to the right wrist of the hammer people.

too legit...
 

Bucket, here's another photo for your hammer crap thread.

Back in the Day
 

Paying my way through college, I worked as a Framer. We didn't use nail guns and when laying pressure treated 2x8 T&G subfloors we used the heaviest Vaughan hammer we could handle. Usually a 27oz.

Over time I found I could drive 16 penny nails pretty well by setting it with one tap and then driving it home with a single blow.

I distinctly remember the feel as not "uncocking" before impact. :golf:

Well get your college hammer out . . . put it in your left hand and prepare to bust up some crap . . . look at your left wrist when it is cocked . . . describe the condition of the wrist in Chapter 4 terms . . . what is it at Top of your HAMMERING motion????

A Picture is worth....
 

I read LBG for the articles not the pictures :liar: .

I have no problem with a bent left wrist at the end.

Its the right wrist I worry about.
What's yer problem flunky?

Answer the questions Cowgirl. Hammer to the top loaded and ready to strike a nail (or in your case fanger) . . . describe the conditions of your wrist based on Chapter 4 (cocked, uncocked, level, bent, arched, flat, turned, rolled, vertical) . . . . The questions!!!! Focus!!!
