[12 piece bucket]

Check out my Acquired Motion sequence at http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery.../yoda_aquired/ .

In Row 7, Frames 20 and 21, the Left Wrist has remained Flat and the Right Wrist has remained Bent. The Clubshaft has continued to point at the Straight Plane Line. I have hit many thousands of short Chips and Pitches to acquire the alignments you see here. They most certainly were not 'natural' -- at least not for me.

The Sequence also demonstrates the correct Finish Swivel (beginning in Row 8 ). Here, both Wrists Swivel to their On Plane location for the Finish. The Left Wrist remains Flat as it Rolls palm-up to the Plane. In concert, the Right Wrist loses its Bend and becomes Flat as it Rolls palm-down to the Plane. Note that the butt-end of the Clubshaft continues to point at the Plane Line.

This Finish Swivel is not exaggerated, i.e., the Flat Left Wrist Swivels to the Inclined Plane, not to the Horizontal Plane. Accordingly, the Clubface is also On Plane and not Swiveled Face Down to the Ground. However, for Steering Addicts -- and that includes virtually all higher handicap players and many lower ones as well -- even this On Plane Swivel will Feel quite exaggerated. Most players simply have no idea how much Left Forearm Rotation is required to execute the correct Swivel.

As the Left Wrist re-Cocks into the Finish -- best viewed from down-the-line -- the Wrist will appear to Bend somewhat. However, this is the consequence of the natural perpendicular 'hammering motion' of the Wrist that maintains the Left Arm and Clubshaft In-Line. It is not the Horizontal Motion of a true Wrist Bend that throws the Clubshaft ahead of the Left Arm and destroys Rhythm.

I can hear it now . . . "Rich you doofus!!!

How do you take someone who doesn't have enough DOWN and get them to do DOWN AND Swivel too?
