So did I, perhaps I was mistaken too.

Will have to get the Dart to show me that one then ;-).

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Last post before leaving:) Mr C, it can be totally maintained all the way through to the Finish. It does not have to be as the Finish Swivel is an option either way. Our preference is to keep the FLW all the way to avoid it being thrown away.

So for a vertical hinge shot, given they are usually for short shots, you may never need to get past both arms straight with the FLW still in place. If you do go past there with a VH the it is a deliberate role a little bit past impact that feels like a big one. Easy to show, hard to write about.

Happy swinging and hitting lads and ladets. See you from the other side of the world.

Adriand, if you email me at anand_verma_(at)hotmail.com you, me and leigh can organise another date. Otherwise the paparazzi might find out where we are playing, and who needs that kind of attention!

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

They talk about the importance of the Flat left wrist/Bent right wrist at impact, I ain’t 100% on this, but if you maintain a bent right wrist when both arms are fully extended, the clubface cannot rotate (does this mean a Vertical Hinge?). So for the sake of rotation, the BRW has to go, but AFTER impact.

Sorry mate, can we take a raincheck? Just received a phone call and have an interview for a scholarship I applied for on Thursday. Sorry buddy.

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

Yeah, sounds good mate. I haven’t played there in a little while and have looked at playing the Wednesday open comp there sometime, so playing there this Thursday would definitely help me I think.

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

No worries Adrian. Well seeing as MrC can’t make it Thursday would you prefer to play at Fox Hills or Cumberland?

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Royshh,

You set it where you want it at impact and that is where it stays.

The left wrist cocks synchronously with the right elbow bend and the right wrist is frozen.

The advantage is in the simplicity which the body computer is sooo grateful for and rewards you with improved coordination and the feeling that this is too easy. The one I love.

I recommend it at least as your basic or “go to” motion. If you have not been introduced, despite it’s name it is warm and user friendly.

Dart, thank you for this! I applied this to a round yesterday with excellent results… I flushed my irons consistently from the fairway with nice even shallow divots (I’m a digger…) that I haven’t seen in a while, sweet!!!

I have a question with regard to implementing the “frozen right wrist” and how after impact the club is supposed to be released and flow into the follow through to the finish.

I’m not good with terminology so I’ll let Paul hart demonstrate for me.. In this article Paul shows the releases (http://www.iseekgolf.com/golfinstruction/6916-the-power-release-types) in Fig.6 he appears to have thrown (maybe not the correct terminology) away the frozen wrist at the follow through, what makes the transition between the 2 parts of the swing? is it the roll of the wrist?

By the way anyone coming over for the Ryder Cup?

Thanks.. TW,

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

I am seeing the Dart at 11:30. Will make it hard. I might just give this one a miss and if you are keen next week I will join in.

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

Ok, well I’d probably prefer morning. How about you MrC?

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

Sounds good to me if we have a hit at Fox Hills instead. I have Thursday off work so am free whatever time suits you two.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Great!

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

Leigh and Adriand, I can’t make it to cumberland just yet as money is a little tight and I need to buy some more practice balls.. (thats gotta be about the worst excuse ever right?) I am more than happy to host you at fox hills however.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Loren,

I understand the delivery position as the final plane, when any plane shift has completed, normally when the arms and club are moving down and out below horizontal.

Ok, thanks , I understand by what he meant now. Thought he was being literal and odd.

Topic: ISG Golf Competition

Please count me in Adam. I’m happy with Wembley, its one of the best council courses in Oz.

Cheers

As far as I’m concerned, too much golf is barely enough!

Hah !

Jon, please tell me of a better one, I would love to play it.

As far as I’m concerned, too much golf is barely enough!

Hammersley
Hill View
Burswood even though its a resort course.
Collier Park maybe

Thats just the metro area in WA i’m sure there alot more over east.

http://www.cockburngolfclub…

Hill View is not that great. Wembley, Hammersly, Carramar are good. Any at the southern end of Perth – not Mandurah – I still don’t call it part of Perth.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Nope, not an AI.
Thought I’d answered your question. Maybe that’s why I’m not an instructor. Huh? Like to give it a try though. At my age?

The right elbow is always trying to straighten from backswing to follow-through, via extensor action. It doesn’t quite get to straight at impact. Still a little bent.

What is the delivery position?

The article’s author is talking real golf swing. He doesn’t mean any idea of static bend of any amount. He means a little bit of “bent”.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Thanks loren( are you an AI?) and guru for all that good info. At the delivery position, should the right elbow still be at 90 degrees or close to it?

According to the hitting it thin article, the author states that the right elbow remains bent until the tee in the ground is struck. I assume he is talking about feeling and not reality, and this is a drill, or is he talking about the real golf swing, because I don’t see that much bend just before impact. http://www.iseekgolf.com/golfinstruction/6737-hitting-the-ball-thin

The ‘stoke’ was faster than the eyes – in joke.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Heh. Durned right, sharp eyes. Typo. Right shoulder.
Thanks.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Loren

Did you definitely mean left shoulder, or did you really intend to write right shoulder (and made a typo)?

Jeff.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Active trailing elbow means that it moves from a right angle someplace before impact to a straight line after impact. What we don’t want is for it to get straight before impact or stay bent.

Did I read that correctly, that the right elbow is at a 90 degree angle until just before impact? Based on slo-motion video of pro swings, I always assumed the right arm was almost straight before impact. Misleading camera angles I suppose. I obviously have been forever struggling with throwaway.

Not exactly. It’s at roughly 90 degrees at the top, trying to stretch out but held from doing so by the checkrein of the left arm. See Keep That Left Arm Straight in the Golf School articles, discussing Extensor Action.
From there it’s always trying to straighten until it’s finally straight at follow-through roughly two feet past impact. At impact it hasn’t fully straightened yet, there’s still some extensor action thrust in there.
The right arm cannot begin to straighten in the downswing until the hands leave the left shoulder. (typo alert: right shoulder)
Dart’s statement is from 90 degrees at the top, straightening until both arms straight in follow-through, fluidly.
Not 90 degrees just before impact.

Apologies for making you translate righty to lefty.

Topic: Frozen Right Wrist

Never is the right arm straight in a great players impact position. They are still going though the ball not at it.
