if your implying a shank, I thinks thats what i'm having trouble with.

I've had that happen on the range when experimenting with this. Especially with the wedges.

I agree with MJ that you need to swing the handle past the ball without moving the clubhead, but if CF takes over well outside the right thigh, then you can't get there.

The solution for me for both of the above is to make sure I'm applying enough extensor action throughout the swing. It "frees the wrists of considerable responsibility, and adds power package mass" If memory serves. Need to lookup 6-B-1-D again. Ted suggested this to me and at first it didn't click why it would help with a snap release.
In practice, applying extensor action on the downswing (it's not pushing), just holding the power package fairly rigid, allows the wrist to really flail at the bottom with a sequenced uncock and roll. Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks,

Bagger
