I saw this video the other day. Calvin Peete Part 1 - YouTube any opinion on his swing and why he was so accurate?
Yeah, but he had that bent left arm and wrist at impact. Some on the lunatic fringe would say flip.
Yeah i noticed in that slowmotion swing at 8:10 it looks like his left wrist is bent at impact. i dont think anyone could say he was flipping at it though, he seems to pivot through nicely

Hello Kevin, about 75% into the clip he started hitting some irons and I noticed that he barely took any divots.
In your experience/teaching, is there any association/correlation between angle of attack and resultant divot depth (or even length)?
Thanks.
In remembering at least one of your daughters swings, there is no reason why she should be taking a divot of any size.

Lack of crossover release (slap-hinge instead) and low plane mid-downswing to mid-follow through (with EEP) - as the vast majority of the most accurate ballstrikers had. He also had a great Hoganesque weight shift watching FO.

Dariusz -
Does the slap hinge release get labeled a "flip"?
Also, what is "EEP"?
ad.1 -- yes, sometimes but not very wisely; "flip" is an error, i.e. premature losing angles before contact.
I have heard also a crossover release labelled as "flip" though more than once which makes the case even more ridiculous fore those who use this term wrongly.
ad.2. -- early elbow plane.
Cheers
How does one know when a flip happens? Where does the premature losing of the angles occur in the swing.
P.S. Empty your mailbox on this site. It's full.
Well, when the clubhead's (sweetspot's) arc goes up earlier (before contact) than the desired arc of the clubhead (sweetspot) for a given loft. Where ? wrists area mainly.
Cheers
P.S. Already emptied it, thanks and sorry.
Not sure if I follow you. I believe most people talk about a flip at impact and whether the left wrist is "cupped" at impact (many say that a flip happens even if the left wrist cups afterwards). I'm not sure that type of definition is correct. Do you have a video that might show me what you're trying to communicate is a flip?
Thank you for posting. Great video!
Hello Dariusz,,you referred it as a left wrist flex. Do you mean left wrist extension, aka, opposite of palmer flexion?
