flat left wrist mystery

Wow, I never knew Andrade got so far past paralel. Looks like a bit of a reverse pivot, and crosses way over at the top.
 
And look at how that head rocks to the right on frame #2 and it bobs down slightly in downswing. I used to be a believer that the head should remain as stationary as possible in 99% of the people but I'm starting to come around to Brian's way of thinking that it changes from person to person.

I'll agree with that Rob, He definitely makes his swing work which is the most important thing. I just don't like it personally.

Try perfecting your grip. Im sure its not under the muscle pad in the left hand. Also check your right hand. Make sure the "V" points to your right shoulder and the lifeline on your right hand (between the 2 muscle pads) sits on the left thumb. From there if you still get a flat wrist, check your body motion. If your middle dosent work properly, something has to take the load...in this case...maybe that left wrist!!!!!!

I have this problem too. I think my left wrist is arching on downswing. But if I strengthen my grip to the right and the clubface is controlled by the back of the left hand, won't this cause the clubhead to come into impact too closed?
 
Yes.
Back to Andrade..Funky pics, but lots of good stuff. How's that for a right arm swinger?
Or does anyone think he's a hitter? He crushes it for a little guy.
When I qualified for the ATT at Pebble, a lot of fans mistook me for him...good-looking devil.

Not necessarily because arching the left wrist opens the clubface.

Hey Bill! Thanks for your opinions!

A question....why do you think Andrade is a right arm swinger?

Thanks!
 
7-19 Lag Loading "The 'Right Arm Swing' is simply 10-3-K with loosened Wrists (7-1) and
longitudinal acceleration using 7-19-3 above."
Man, I don't like typing those numbers. Takes too long for my spastic fingers.
Like several other tour pros and good players, he replaces his left shoulder
with his right elbow. When you see guys with huge pivots and that left arm bent and they still
kill it, it's usually right arm swinging. Frankly, I've never seen a true Hitter able to hit
it anywhere. They're always "Switting" or right arm swinging.
Why can't they hit it anywhere? A true Hitter tries to overpower CF..tsk tsk. Great for short shots, though.

If that's a right arm swing, then he struck the ball after low point, cause the right elbow replaced the left shoulder as the swing center.

As far as being a Hitter - how many Hitters go to the End and use a full left arm rotation?

Have you seen Ted Ford (posts as "Yodasluke" at lynnblakegolf.com) hit balls? He is as pure a Hitter as you can get. Assembling at Top, Drive Loading, Angle of Approach procedure, etc. Also has a nice Auto Snap Release for a Hitter. I have seen him hit balls live, and he is longer than your average PGA pro. And he is not a big guy (about 5'10"), nor has he got superhuman strength.

Is Doyle a right arm Swinger?

Oh, I don't know. I'd say Ted hits it pretty darn far and his move is nothing but a pure hitting stroke. I've never seen Brian hit balls but from watching his swing, I'd be willing to bet that he gets decent distance also. But he is not a classic hitter because he prefers float loading.

I, too, have seen Ted hit balls. This guy makes, maybe, a 3/4 swing with ALL clubs and routinely drives the ball well over 300 yards (perhaps the farthest I've seen anyone hit the ball). Yoda and I watched Ted launch a few drives and we were both speechless as the ball just seemed to carry forever.

Arnold Palmer, prime time, for example.

Here's "prime time" - STT coils up the big shoulders - you can just feel the whirl of the flywheel cranking on the DS of this CF Swing!

Wow weird man. Never seen Arnie Swing before....

Crazy.
