Can I just check that the end result of what you are saying is that on the downswing/swinging/sequenced release...
- the left wrist is bent in order for the sweetspot and pp3 to stay on plane. Is that correct?
- And then for the sequenced release to occur... the left wrist uncocks on plane...with a left wrist that is bent and gradually straightens....and then rolls...is that correct?
Mathew, thanks for the direct video reply - I shall review the specific references you made in due course.
In your reply there are some bits that still appear heretical...namely the precedence you give to the left wristcock being on plane over and above the left wrist remaining "flat" throughout the downswing.
If that is what you are saying then please nod, please do not use too many long words...just nod...keep it simple please.
The reason I ask you to keep your reply simple is that I think that what you might not appreciate is that for most of us here the "Flat left wrist" is crutch that we hold onto dearly.... I think I speak for many who have started learning from TGM but have much remaining to learn...in that we feel that once you have got your left wrist flat at some stage in the backswing...you keep it in that position. My interpretation of your words is that that is not the case. That is why I /we need a simple reply to confirm this conclusion. I appreciate that the explaination may require more complex words but mere confirmation of this conclusion does not.
I think that a simple statement from you will help the discussion further.
The reason it is taking us a while to understand this is because it is certainly something that I have not seen stressed by other knowledgeable TGM people...now that might be my misunderstanding of their words...it might be their misunderstanding of Homer's words...or...some other reason...

golfbulldog,
1. Get a hammer.
2. Grip it in your left hand, and hold it opposite your left shoulder.
3. Cock the hammer straight up in line with your left forearm.
That is how your left wrist should look at the top of your backswing.
