I have viewed "Confessions of a Former Flipper" and am learning to swing with a flat left wrist. It has been hard! Recently, when I try to keep my right wrist bent on short pitch shots, I have been hitting the ball with the club face fanned wide open. When I am practicing this shot, should I feel my left hand rotate so that at impact the back of my left hand is facing the target? Should I seek to have the same feeling of the hands rotating on full shots also?

I think that if your grip is correct, the position of the back of the left hand mirrors the clubface. If this is accurate (I'll ask Brian, Mike or Jim to validate this), then you could say you control the clubface with the back of the left hand. If it's pointing right of the plane line, ball goes right, if it's pointing left, ball goes left. On the rare occasions :) that it's on the straight plane, the ball goes at the target!

But....

Lots of folks in the Hall-of-Fame have monitored the clubface with the right hand.

When you DE-FLIP, you need to learn to ROLL.

Most Flippers are FLIPPERS because they are using the flip to square up the face.
