Re: Wrist Cock, PRO "A" or PRO "B"??
dereckbc, I see where your coming from about it being a natural occurance in the wrist. I can tell a major difference in the two scenario's now that I fully understand what is happening when the wrists come into play. I guess where I was taught at one point in time the wrists should cock up once the arms and club are parralell to the ground, thus pointing the butt of the grip a the ground, seemed natural because I had done it for so long I didn't even have to think about it. But, whether I am thinking about it or not, it was still a manual process, bringing in the the muscles of the hands which can definately cause tension in the muscles. Not to mention the downswing process I also having to time a release as well. Sometimes it felt like I wasnt letting go of the club, my body was finishing, therefore leaving the club open at impact giving some major slice action....I mean major. I then had to compensate trying to let the club catch up, but that has been resulting in an over rotation of my body and releasing to early I suppose and now I have developed some what of a draw. It's not a hard draw but I wouldn't say it falls in the category of a controlled draw either. I'm loosing distance in the air, but picking up a better roll. It's not even the distance I am concerned with really. I have the distance I need even on a miss hit. I could probably put a decent slice to down the course about 270 or 280. When its straight or controlled it's about 310-325 depending on the roll I am picking up. But, again, its not the distance I am looking for...it's the ACCURACY! Whether its the driver or the irons I want a sound accurate game. Not that I play my clubs short distances (They are sort of long compared to some) If a Pro could play a Par 3 that was 230 yards with a 6 iron and I have to play a 4, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm in the hole before everyone else. I'm hoping when I get to the range this natural wrist cock with help, allowing the club to release where it should and letting the hands just hang on to the club for the ride, taking out any guess work and timing issues on where and when the club releases.
