Wow.....what a great thread!

Here is my 2 cents.

There are an awful lot of GREAT players (past and present) that flatten their RIGHT WRIST past impact.

Fred Couples...Phil Mickelson....Vijay Singh....

So.....hard to argue with the ABILITY of something to work at the highest levels.

BUT!

Personally, I can't stand the look of it.

Now, in Lynn Blake's procedure, there is NO DOUBT that he allows the right wrist to FLATTEN...POST-follow through.

But...I don't EVER let mine flatten if I can help it..

I only allow my students to do it like Lynn and David Toms do it, flat left/bent right at impact-to the follow-through and then as the club swivels up the plane, the right wrist can flatten.

So in Tom Tomesello's defense MAYBE this is what he was talking about.

But....I would never, ever personally say it the way he did on the tape.

As far as four-barrel swinging goes.....nah, lets just talk about flattening right wrists
