Question regarding Left Wrist please
Hi
I've been thinking about my left wrist and struggling with the right feeling at impact. I understand the left wrist is either level, cocked or uncocked.
I understand that the downswing and backswing positions may not be replicated i.e. cocked on backswing at one point and uncocked on downswing at not necessarily the same point.
At impact on a standard shot what position should the left wrist be in - level, cocked or uncocked?
Thanks in advance,

Mud Ball.

Mud Ball,

Level at impact, uncocked at follow through.

Thanks - I think in my attempt to feel the left wrist flat at impact I've been fully uncocking at impact. If I set the wrist level it feels harder to feel the left wrist flat.

with your permission...
May I extend this conversation?
I also believe the left wrist "passes through" level at impact.
I think the uncocking of the left wrist (#2 accumulator) starts at trigger and is not complete until and simultaneously with follow through, both arms straight. I also think the uncocking IS the downward movement of the club. I also think that the cocked wrist (to whatever amount of cocking) is NECESSARY or NO ACCUMULATOR 3 remains. ie. Wrist cock is required to have accumulator 3. I also think that the wrist cock of the left wrist brings the wrist to vertical because of the throw out action. Once the wrist reaches uncocked there is no more accumulator 3, no more endless belt action, and I would be completely on my own to MANIPULATE my left wrist to vertical. Very iffy and lacking consistency due to the many things happening at that time.
Just my thoughts-

There you go - you managed to articulate a key point I was thinking about. I feel that as I fully uncock too early. I have run out of acc 3.
But what I think I mistakenly do is try to feel the left wrist supernate i.e. I feel it more with the wrists uncocked - whereas with wrists level and a club in my hand the wrist feels more 'cupped' i.e. less supernated - does that make sense?

Hogan also. On the plane when #2 is triggered- is the left bent? Not that I see that as anything but an unavoidable "nonproblem". Also- where does the ball go and is it consistent?
