Help!

I may have uncovered a flaw in my action, and need help with curing it.

First, let me see if I understand the proper motion of the left wrist.

Correct left wrist action should be from level at address to cocked at or near end of backswing, then uncocking back to near level through impact and then finally uncocked to both arms straight.

Is this correct?

I seem to go from cocked to darn near uncocked through impact which results in a more toe down impact position than normal. This is not good.
It also weakens the leverage of the swing, and makes it more unlikely to get a real clean "hands forward" through impact motion.

I don't know how this motion developed, but it is there.
Anyone experienced this and how did you go about remedying it?

Thank you in advance,

Your left wrist should work exactly like a hammer . . . you are just turning and rolling (depending on grip type more or less roll).

Have you video taped your motion? Does it look lke throwaway? Is your left wrist bending?

You need to work with a dowel or a club and an impact bag. Place the bag at low point and pop it. Get the feeling of the club staying behind and below your hands. Check the drills forum out . . . there's some good impact bag drills there.

Get into a bunker and draw a line perendicular to your stance line . . . learn to uncock and make your divots in the sand on the left side of the line.

I have hit some balls at a range where they spray paint lines on the ground. . . . I place the ball behind the line and then try to erase it with my divot. You could do something similar.

Also hit pitches out of divots.
