Also feeling PP2 to get a feel for the left arm FW

I dont personally feel the flat left wrist but rather the frozen, bent right wrist as being driven into the ball. I also feel the right forearm flying wedge as being held intact throughout the swing. Its all very right sided to me and the bent right wrist seems key.

The only time I feel the left wrist is in the finish swivel (clubshaft control) when the left wrist actively rolls the club shaft back onto the inclined plane. But here too I FEEL the right wrist as trying to keep its bend. The forces may in fact straighten it out for a bit ,but the perception of the two wrists as having different jobs has helped me a lot. Previously I think I actively rolled both wrists. An over swivel.


This is where I am at now anyways.

Hi Thom,

I too, feel exactly like that: Extensor action, frozen right wrist, no roll feel, PP1 thrust, crossline delivery line.
But instead of focusing on keeping the right forearn flying wedge intact, I focus on keeping the primary lever assembly intact.
That must end up with the same result (isn't TGM cool!).

This helps me to ensure that I use the full leverage of the primary lever assembly and most importantly to avoid breaking it by a too fast start-down ending up with no right arm, clubhead throwaway and a destroyed primary lever assembly.

I know it's done properly by sensing PP2 during the entire stroke (starting from backstroke to both arms straight).
But I do not feel I use PP2 to drag the club (that would be switting!). I feel PP2 as a result of the right arm action...

It's my insurance for leverage, slow startdown and lag.
