I'm talking about kinda late into follow thru but not at finish yet. I mean there is a moment when your left palm (facing sky) is under the club handle isn't it? When both your arms are still pretty much fully extended.

My question is how does your palm stay connected to the handle at this point when the weight of the club on the other end of the shaft wants to see saw the club handle out of your left palm.

This seems pretty simple image to picture (don't know why ppl are not answering this question). I mean just grip club normally and turn it so your palm is facing sky. See how the weight of the club is tipping the scale so to speak.

If you still have trouble picturing the position I'm talking about see picture 3 on http://www.cegolf.com/xft.htm

If you'll notice, in none of the pictures is his left palm facing skyward, or under the club handle, nor does the club handle separate from the left palm except in the first picture which the teacher correctly points out is bad form. In pic 3, if he were to open his left hand the palm would be facing 90° to the right of the target, not skyward. When you take the club back to where the butt of the grip is aiming toward the target, the toe of the club should be straight up with the clubface facing 90° right of the target line...after impact when the shaft of the club is aiming toward the target, the toe should again be aiming straight up with the clubface facing 90° left of the target line, the mirror image of the takeaway. If the back of the left hand faces where the clubface faces, then at no time should it be facing the ground, nor should the palm be facing skyward.

That quote pretty much says it all.

Actually if you look closely, in the first picture (bad form), the left palm is facing more to the right than skyward. Whereas in the third picture, the palm is facing more skyward.

The first picture is used to illustrate someone who artificially manipulates a "flipping" of the wrist to close the clubface at impact. Notice the club shaft is pointing skyward. Now if the club shaft is pointing skyward, how can your left palm, which is gripping the club, be pointing skyward too? You'd have to be gripping the butt of the club to do that. That's the wrong form.

The third picture shows the right form. Club shaft still pretty horizontal and great extension of the arms. To do that your left palm needs to point skyward with little or no cock in the wrist.

So my question still stands. How do you stay connected?
