Yoda just mentioned that he loves the feel of dragging the mop through impact. A weekend with Ben and we all want to be heavy with the mop. Lag is the secret and not hard to align. Lag is more than the wrist angle.
I think I can relate to dragging the mop along through impact as a mental image of how to create clubhead lag. Is it also a drill? If so I am sure my wife will be quite pleased...
Working on my pivot, maintaining the flying wedges, and educated hands should after some "doing" hopefully improve my lag.
6bee1dee, I would like to quote you on some very usefull information on a previous thread. Maybe the moderators could consider it on a future "Brian Manzella Golf Forum Greatest Tips...".
Question by jerry1967:
how does one only cock the left wrist and only bend the right wrist back?
Answer by 6bee1dee:
You can cock the left and fold the right because of the grip.
You do need to change the grip of your right hand SLIGHTLY and place the grip more in the hand and less in the fingers. This will allow the right forearm and club shaft to align and work properly with a bent or folded right wrist. This is not the palm grip, just a slight shift that allows the right hand to cover the left thumb- Pressure point #1.
The bent right wrist - a horizontal plane and the cocked left wrist- a vertical plane becomes the Flying Wedges, TGM in a nutshell. The cocked left and bent right is pure magic because each hand has its own plane. You can cock and uncock the left’s vertical motion and never upset the right’s horizontal plane. You can release accumulator #2 (left) and still keep an intact right flying wedge. This is TGM genius.
As Jim mentioned the folding of the right arm (elbow) cocks the left wrist. The bend of the right wrist is established at Impact Fix (Where’s Your Aiming Point?) - it doesn’t fold back the same for every club, especially in the Hit Stroke.
Why a bent right wrist and not a vertically cocked one? The bent, folded right wrist forms a strut, 90 degrees of power. The right Flying Wedge supports everything in the swing. The left wrist is Flat because the right wrist bends and aligns it Flat. A cocked right wrist would be at best a weaken strut.- Why go weak?
If you look at the right hand of Nicklaus, Snead and Hogan, each with very different elbow positions, Jack -high, Hogan-low and Sammy in the middle, each had perfect bent right wrists.
Learn Flying Wedges and you can’t go wrong.

Thanks for the kinda words. Everything I learned came from Lynn and Brian AND... many many forum members that love this as much as I do. They all were generous with their time and didn't tire of all my stuipd questions. I bow to them all.
The alignments of the Flying Wedges hold everything good about TGM.
