Excellent video on the flat left wrist.One question is it better to have a neutral grip in order to keep the left wrist flat.I have a rather strong left grip and it's more difficult to see if it is flat tha if I "Weaken it."

Also I've heard Darrel Klassen say you twist the left to impact and it will be flat.

Thanks For any help you can give.

@secretogolf focus on making sure your hands get to the golf ball before the clubhead or you could use the visual that the entire left arm and clubshaft are in one line at impact, regardless of your grip type....... as for Darrel Klassen, that might have worked for him or some of his students....I would have to see your motion in order to make a good diagnosis as apposed to a "golf digest" tip of the week ;)

Great vid...any thoughts about G-Mac's bowed left wrist at the start of the downswing and into impact. I've tried it and get a 50 yd hook. If I can fine tune it maybe I can turn it into a draw and get more distance on my shots.

@FairwayJack

great, if you can adjust your path far enough left to counteract

? i just started playing golf been a golf course once why is it wen i go to hit with my driver i wanna raise up to wacth the ball how can i fix this issue

[secretogolf]

Sorry but had to ask while here.Is there any need for unlnar deviation in the left wrist through impact.It seems to me that to much of that would put the left arm out of line with the shaft?

Thanks Mario

Came back to your video just to make sure of a few things.In order to achieve the flat left wrist according to TGM and some of their instructors I hear that just using the hitters motion of pushing with the handle leading the club head we will end up in the FLW Pos.Then I have heard Lynn Blake say that U need to roll the left wrist to achieve the power available in the downward motion of the swing w a FLW ,seen on this very same pg,titled," Left Wrist Uncock Drill by LB." What is the best way

Great video Mario, your explanations are so clear! I had actually been _trying_ to hinge and un-hinge the left wrist, resulting very little accuracy and no change in distance in my 7iron and longer, just like you mentioned. I actually am taking lessons with a pro who hasn't mentioned the left wrist at all :( I will give it a go and let you know what my results are! Thanks again mate!
