Is this where Croker and Martin Green got "try to unbend the right wrist as hard as possible into the ball" from?

Another great clip. Thanks to Yoda, DG, the staff, and of course the late Tomasello for bringing it out in the public. Cheers.

Re: Members Wanted -- Not Just Quick Hits
 

IMO, very good video - but without the book and your exellent explanations of the left hand/right hand wedges - and the reminders of pressure point #3 - it has limited value. Limited and good enough to create considerable interest.

It could serve well as a nLBG teaser on other sites: For more info about the .... goto www. lynnblakegolf.com etcetera.

A quick check of your webserver indicates it should be capable of mapping certain requests (ie. movies) to some code (php) that could validate the user and kick them to the forum home page if they aren't registered and logged in. The only down side is that you wouldn't be able to view those same items in your "gallery" without being a registered, logged in user of the forum (good?/bad?). I'd be glad to help w/ any of this if you need me.

My first thought watching this was it encourages the right wrist straightening...like the Croker system maybe does...does anyone know if this is where Croker got it from?

No...Tomasello does not encourage straightening the right wrist, in fact, Tomasello promotes the opposite, a bent right wrist through impact...any flattening of the right wrist is a post impact condition.

Dear Mr. Jordan,

The use of the right hand is more as a "karate chop" action from the change of direction down and out in to the ball.
This action promotes the left hip rotation throughout the downswing and all the way through impact,follow through, and into the finish.
The direction of the wrist release is in alignment with the clubshaft to left arm (for right handed golfers).

This has the Pressure Point #1 of the upper hand / wrist area "pushing" down and out in the direction of the ball, while the #3 Pressure point assists the "uncocking" action of the hands and maintaining the clubshaft to left arm alignment through impact and well into follow through.

To my way of looking at the right hand action, the flattening action of the right hand occurs as the wrists move from level towards fully uncocked as you release deep into follow through.
Because of the flat left wrist caused by the uncocking action, the right hand can never move into a fully flat condition while the clubshaft remains in line with the left arm.

Correct use of the "pressure points" in the correct sequence and direction will guarantee that the right wrist can never arch and the left wrist never bend as you release down, out, and through the golf ball.

I do not advocate any attempt to consciously move the right wrist from bent towards flat in the hit of a golf ball. I do recommend uncocking and swivelling the wrists in the release down and out into the ball.

Hope this helps clarify the right hand action in the downswing from the Croker Golf System viewpoint.

Enjoy the Hit!

Dear Toolish,

The Right Wrist moves towards flat in the post impact area as both wrists fully uncock deep into follow through. I explain this in more detail in reply to Mr. Jordan.
Tom Tomasello was the greatest coach and instructor I ever had. His use of the right hand in this instance was to show how difficult it was to "unbend" the right hand while driving the pressure against the clubshaft and firing the clubhead down and out into the golf ball.
Ben Hogan was one of his hero too and he mentioned that "Why would Hogan wish he had 3 right hands to hit with unless he wanted to use them?"

Hope this helps clarify this area of action for you.

Enjoy the Hit!

Dear Robert W,

The grip on Tom's short club was a standard moulded training grip as can be brought from most golf shops and repair outlets.

It certainly is a great benefit for all to help hands - clubface alignment.

Kind regards,

Looking for the truth
 

Dear Robert,

It is a small world! Those of us that look for the simple truths are never very far apart.
May I invite you to attend one of our TGM/CGS schools downunder or in the USA, Europe, or Thailand.

I promise you will not be disappointed.

Kind regards,
Peter Croker:)
