My left wrist is gone

[wanole]

Down to impact my swing looks ok, but man, right after impact my left wrist is gone from the video. My right hand totally covers it and from the front on view the club is starting to go up forming a V
from my left arm down to my hands up to the clubs. It seems as if my left hand just stops at impact and right arm flips over it.
At impact I have a straight line, but I assume by the time seperation
occurs my right must take over. Thus, the pulls and hooks.

From behind I seem to be coming in from the inside fine, so the pull confuses me. I have to get a firewire card to get this video on my computer, so hopefully I will have it up soon.

Sounds like you are quitting and just letting your right side overpower your left with no left arm swivel.

Hit 3/4 punch shots focussing on rotating your own left arm to keep the wrist flat and stop at followthrough. You should be able to keep the left wrist flat at the follow through but if can bend after that.

Once you can keep consistently hitting 3/4 punch shots with a flat left wrist during the follow through without thinking about it, you're ready to try it with a full swing

The following is a post by Holenone (Yoda). I consider it to be one of the most important he has ever posted. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me:

"Your Left Wrist is Bending during Release and Impact because your Right Wrist is Flattening. And your Right Wrist is Flattening because during (or after) the Release of the Left Wristcock, you are incorrectly attempting to continue that Wrist Uncocking Feel instead of correctly Rolling the Hands.

After the Left Wrist has moved from Cocked to Level -- it is never Fully Uncocked (the Full Extension of the Primary Lever Assembly that results in Zero #3 Accumulator) until after Impact -- the Overtaking (of the Hands by the Clubhead) is accomplished by the Roll of the #3 Accumulator to the end of the Follow-Through. If this correct action is replaced by 'False Feel' Wrist Action -- misapplied #3 Pressure Point Pressure causing a Horizontal Motion in the Right Wrist -- the inevitable result is a Bent Left Wrist and Throwaway.

So, to cure your Bent Left Wrist, you must learn to complete the Release -- Sequenced or Simultaneus (2-P) -- by the proper Left Wrist Action into Impact and Left Hand Hinge Motion into the Follow-Through. But learning these Mechanics is not enough. For total victory, you must overcome the First Snare -- the urge to Steer (3-F-7-A) -- and this requires learning to drive the Ball into the ground and not into the air or 'toward the Target' (6-E-2)."

I conciously don't try and steer, but I'm sure I am. I seem to hit mostly thin off the bottom grooves lately and embarrassing enough I completly topped a 5 iron this weekend. I hit down very well with my short Irons, but not the long ones. SO, I will work on that and the flashlight to the plane line which IMO should help with the bent right wrist. Plus, the impact bag.

It is amazing how good your swing can look right at and before impact, but get destroyed in that 1/4 of an inch seperation point.
