You have an anatomically flat left wrist at the top which is OK however the face is shut. So you can open the face some or cock your left wrist some where you get some bend.

Now plenty of cats play nice golf with a shut face Duval . . . Trevino . . . but you are pretty much dependent on getting the right amount of shaft lean to keep that face OPEN . . Otherwise the face is gonna pull the ball.

Bent vs. Flat with your grip







That bent one probably gives you more insurance on shaft lean . . . if you got the buck shut face you'd BETTER get the lean or that ball starts left.

Couples . . . less leany



Buck . . . gotta lean it to get the face open enough not to start it left of left.

Bucket . . .

It's been a long journey since our first day together some five years ago at The Swamp.

Since then, I've said many times that, your LBG persona to the contrary . . .

You're the Real Deal.

One who, when he chooses to opine, should be listened to . . . carte blanche http://www.thefreedictionary.com/carte+blanche. This is not an exclusive category, but admission is rare.

Your help in organizing my Archives was invaluable.

Your continuing support of our mission is appreciated.

Your love of the game and willingness to help others?

Priceless.
