Lynn doesnt teach a flat left wrist post Finish Swivel
I dont think Finish should read FCR. Well not in a literal or visually flat way of speaking anyways.


" Wrist Conditions" are often overlooked but all important IMO.

Lots more to consider if you want to get into it and I believe we should. The difference between literally , visually "flat" and Homers geometrically Flat .. they are not the same etc etc. This is a common sticking point , a thing guys often get wrong , an exaggerated visually flat left wrist. Another one being a Flat left wrist where it isnt supposed to be Flat. Its as if the book itself has "snares". Even some TGM type teachers get it wrong . Some big names too. A misinterpretation of Homer. Not Lynn Blake though , not Ted Fort. I had it all wrong myself. This was the stuff of my most recent lesson with Lynn. Ive lost track but Im into double digits with him and this stuff , wrist conditions , is awesome. It completed the education of my hands if you will. Took a while to sink in, a long while. Im freewheeling now.

If you want to get it all straight the info is here on this site but you need to know where to look. Its easily overlooked.

Not very many flat left wrists post Finish Swivel on tour. While the Right Hand bend is not a source of power it must be released all the same for a free wheeling flail like action and that is powerful . See Hogan , Rory , Snead , old Tiger heck most everybody and notice their bend left wrist near Finish Swivel. Its like a return to adjusted hands bent left / flat right. You cant hold the left wrist flat the whole way and free wheel. Jones didnt do that. Through Impact.... yes Rolling the Flat Left Wrist is critical. Its accomplished by Lag and Drag though not a holding onto it deal . Rolling it is key ! Trying to hold it square (steering) will see the forces break the flat left wrist ....unless youve got a strangle hold on the handle.
