"The use of the right hand is more as a "karate chop" action from the change of direction down and out in to the ball.
This action promotes the left hip rotation throughout the downswing and all the way through impact,follow through, and into the finish.
The direction of the wrist release is in alignment with the clubshaft to left arm (for right handed golfers).


I believe this to be true as though it were born to me.

This has the Pressure Point #1 of the upper hand / wrist area "pushing" down and out in the direction of the ball, while the #3 Pressure point assists the "uncocking" action of the hands and maintaining the clubshaft to left arm alignment through impact and well into follow through.

Bold by me. This is where I disagree. But maybe I misunderstand. Does indirect and passive (10-11-0-3) mean "assists" in the uncocking action of both hands?

"...the right hand can never move into a fully flat condition while the clubshaft remains in line with the left arm."

Agree, and well said.

"Correct use of the "pressure points" in the correct sequence and direction will guarantee that the right wrist can never arch and the left wrist never bend as you release down, out, and through the golf ball."

I could not agree more.

"I do not advocate any attempt to consciously move the right wrist from bent towards flat in the hit of a golf ball."

Peter is a true believer. So am I.

"I do recommend uncocking and swivelling the wrists in the release down and out into the ball."

I have to agree, but only with the left wrist portion of this statement.

"Hope this helps clarify the right hand action in the downswing from the Croker Golf System viewpoint."

It does. In the Croker system, they seem to cock both wrists. "#3 Pressure point assists the "uncocking" action of the hands" (Hands = Plural) So maybe 98% of the world agrees with Peter.
