[O.B.Left]

It's always interesting to read your comments to the old Yoda posts. Then we get two for one.

Thanks Air. Just my interpretation of things , I do make mistakes , omissions and as such Im open to further discussion. Im here to learn.... compression.

IMO Alignments and Motion are linked. Geometrically correct Alignments facilitate proper Motion and proper Motion can create geometrically correct Alignments. The latter is the reason good golfers often demonstrate correct Alignments without any knowledge of them. The bent left/ flat right in finish swivel for instance.

I know this contrary to what some GSED's have said in the past but its not contrary to Homer or Lynn Blake. I say this with nothing but respect for those GSEDs ... Homers stuff was confusing to say the least.

To attempt to roll a visually flat left wrist through finish swivel is to ruin the correct Alignment. You have introduced Horizontal Motion (arching the left wrist to visually flat) to the left hand motion , a no no.

How could all these guys below , pro's with wonderful motion have it wrong? Answer: They don't!

Im not proposing Throw away or actively unbending the right hand or anything like that. Im merely clarifying what Flat means in a geometrical sense. Geometrically Flat vs visually Flat .. they are not one and the same. And the contribution to the look of the hands while going from Impact Hands to Adjusted Hands in Finish Swivel. Throwaway is still bad, very bad but some advanced golfers get stuck with this " what is flat " thing conceptually , get it wrong (attempt visually flat everywhere in the swing) and in so doing mess up their alignments , their flail and their motion.

Not saying you can't play with a frozen bent right/flat left set of hands throughout the entire swing. You could , but whats advantage when the cost is a free flowing flail? Put another way ... learning to release is important in terms of power transfer. It can be effortless and more powerful. Thats what I found with Yodas help. Let er go.
