I'm assuming this rotational action has to take place? And I assuming the right forearm is where it has to happened? Am I wrong in prompting (encouraging) this PA3 action with the forearm? daluqfam
Hi d - No excusing required! First off, HH is club face control, so the left wrist should do the rotating, not the right forearm. Also, you need to understand that PA3 action(called Driveout in Hitting) is not left wrist rotation, but rather a movement of the entire Left Flying Wedge. This is accomplished by the left shoulder moving farther off-plane so that the hands move farther away from the target line to allow the sweetspot to meet the ball. It's principally a delivery mechanism for the club head, but also makes a power contribution. This is necessary (with or without left wrist rotation) and will happen naturally if you trace the plane line with PP#3.
