its all about overtaking.

Right hand unbending is really a LAFW deal, as it creates horizontal left wrist motion, arching or bending that is death to lag and compression. Normally a poor golfers way of allowing the clubhead to overtake the hands, as it must.

The solution being to roll the flat left wrist through impact.......overtaking without bending! The move that Yoda says "will take you immediately to the next level". "Why? Because thats where The Golfing Machine LIVES , thats why" My favourite Yoda quote and video of all time.

Interestingly though there are numerous pro's , teachers even that in an effort to fight the overswivel subscribe to a sort of hold off move for even the longest of shots. They are afraid of unbridled overtaking and so avoid it. If only they knew how to release instead of trying to avoid it all together! Aligned, rolling, flat left wrist release as opposed to overswivel, left wrist bending or at the opposite extreme hold offs.

So Slice with appologies to one of our fellow countrymen, the right hand doesnt stay fully bent at all times, there is overtaking, a release swivel and the grip end does point down the line in follow through, not behind you or what ever. To have it any other way would be to hold it off, good sometimes, when needed but not all the time. You cant drive it like that or hit long irons like that and play with the best. George didnt do that, Moe didnt do it either. It aint really The Canadian Move or whatever.

So Im inclined to think that the clubs full potential is being achieved with a bent right wrist, flat left wrist at impact but only if the entire power package is in the process of free but "aligned rolling" that will for full power shots see the right wrist flatten for a brief moment during the release swivel.
