Role of hands with D plane

[Tball88]

Ok, with what we are learning about D plane, does this change the way we should use our hands in the golf swing. for the past few years, I've really tried to maintain a flat left wrist and do a pretty good job at it, I roll the left arm through impact, as opposed to unbending the right wrist.

Are we now saying it's ok to unbend the right wrist, even if the left wrist isn't flat at impact, as long as the face is square (or zeo'd out to the path) is that all that matters?

I know there are a lot of lpga players who flip it around the course pretty well.

After following this site for about a year and watching all Brian's videos and taking a lesson from Brian and Ben Doyle I think it is important to learn to try to have and or maintain a flat left wrist during the swing but it isn't a necessity to playing good golf. Once you learn to do and control it you can take some of it out if you need to. IMO

Having a slight forward shaft at impact that doesn't have a lot of downward angle into the ball helps both the desired impact alignments like the COAFF looks to acheive and also minimizes the amount of in to out to "zero out" the swing.

Still ball turf impact, still flat left wrist at impact, just not as much down as previously described and with a horizontal swing plane more left.

GTE certified please correct me if I am wrong on this analysis.

Honestly, it depends on what you are trying to achieve and what pattern you are using. You can zero out the numbers with a Trevino like swing or a more orthodox swing.
