"Alex Limco" is a forum member who is trying to improve his game. He is having problems with the "Twistaway" and says doing it hurts his wrist. HE also says—at first—he didn't realize that when he Twisted, he needed a flat left wrist.
I hope the following clears the "Twistaway" up for everyone.
In my video Never Slice Again, I introduce my concept of the "Twistaway."
Quite simply, it is the rotation of the golf club—about the shaft—in the direction of closing the face from wherever it is.
If you do it, you will ALWAYS HAVE A FLAT or even slightly ARCHED left wrist.
You can do this with next to ZERO force when posing the swing, but during the swing, various torques are put on the clubhead and shaft, that make it easier at time and harder at others.
In Never Slice Again, we are proposing that a Slicer needs to apply this twist pretty early in the backswing, and then keep it applied—best that they can—all the way to the finish.
If you were REVERSE TWISTING—and almost every slicer does—the "Twistaway" may feel uncomfortable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If it hurts, do it less, and swing easier.The keys to the "Twistaway" are the right wrist bending straight back early—as opposed to cocking—and using the left arm to assist the wrist in the movement.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are trying to TWISTAWAY, and you continue to slice, you are probably not rotating the WHOLE ARM AND LEFT ELBOW inward toward you.I can promise, if you do the ten steps in Never Slice Again, you won't slice anymore, and you will have TWISTAWAY in your "toolbox" and will be able to apply it less, or later, for whatever kind of shot you need.
Also, every slicer who buys NSA should pay close attention to how to MODIFY the twist to keep the ball from going too far left.
And, every Never Slice Again-er should eventually watch The Soft Draw Pattern to see some options they have down the line.

Here is STONE FACT about the twistaway:
Unless you have a very strong grip,
Everyone who can play a lick, does the Twistaway at some point prior to impact.
In Never Slice Again, we are trying to fix golfers who slice and have NEVER learned this essential move, and thus try—unsuccessfully—all sorts of other things to square up the golf club.Unless you have a very strong grip,
