"Interestingly, most folks who have never seen me teach think I flatten everyone's wrist at the top, and have the golfer apply twistaway and limit the left arm flying wedge rotation on the backswing to help the golfer square up the club.
A weaker golfer, or a bigger slicer, MAYBE. But this ex-pro baseballer, who will be scratch if we continue to work, needed to learn to square the club up in a more "TOUR" manner."
The quote above, from Brian, raises two issues that I've often pondered:
(1) Whether a golfer is likely to reach and maintain a high level of play (scratch or better we'll say), while utilizing swing thoughts related to "twisting the shaft about itself." i.e. an active thought to arch or bend the left wrist.
(2) Whether a golfer is likely to perform adequately under pressure while utilizing these same swing thoughts.
