The original inspiration that struck a nerve with me is this that I found grubbing around the net...different example of the same idea... http://mysite.verizon.net/gregjwillis/LESSON1.htm BTW I have no idea who this guy is...just some net guy who helped my game (along with a healthy dose of Jimmy Ballard...great book!)

Brett Been taking this to heart too... I think its working, I can actually hit my wedges really low as apposed to that rainbow wedge shot, and I can hit the 19* 5 wood stinger shot. I do notice the more I enforce the flat left and drag the club head along the ball w/loose wrists, the lower my ball goes. I can hit my 58* wedge at a 5 iron trajectory now... I'll gotta get out to the range w/a camera to shoot this stuff.... but the techniques are are starting to pay off. I also ordered that leader board to help me stack more.... hopefully create more power.... Overall the flat left bent right, and a primarily couple other things that Brett has only mentioned to me once, has already paid off. Great stuff.... Cheers to "supination" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Golfer Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Brett really enforces this and it has worked wonders for me...<embed src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1281296495" bgcolor="#666666" flashVars="videoId=1566340356&playerId=1281296495&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=true&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="790" height="620" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed> Excellent video. Manual De Torres book is great on this point. Starting the club down with the hands results in the early flipping/scooping motion common to handicappers. Starting down with the arms (part above the forearm to the shoulder) in unison keeps the hands quiet early in the downswing to keep the correct left wrist flat impact position. The danger of intentionally locking out the left wrist in the downswing is it stays locked out and the clubface is wide open at impact and the swingspeed great reduced due to tension in the forearms. Look again at the chip motion finish in the video. This will not lead to a good finish in the full swing if the left wrist is so positioned after impact. The left wrist is clearly bent at the completion of a full swing with the club over the lead shoulder. Any attempt to delay the left wrist folding in the downswing should be done by a correct downward move and not in the wrist itself. The drills are great as they strengthen the left wrist/forearm flexors which will then automatically hold the left wrist flat through impact in a correct downswing. Look at any good/great golfer with muscle tone and you will see the lead forearm is very muscular and larger than the back forearm. Clearly, we see the left forearm plays a very active role in the golfswing and the stronger it is the better it is. I just finished De Torres book, Understanding the golfswing and I highly recommend it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somedevil Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 All As a client of Brett's for the past 18 months I can attest to his theories and practices. We have been working on flat left bent right (FLBR) from the day I met him. As he shook my hand with the twist of his wrist putting my hand in the correct position he started with FLBR. With are hands still grasped he informed me that this was the way I would hit the ball for the rest of my life. I can say that since that day I have been able to put more compression on the ball and have been able to control the trajectory much better. It is hard to emphasize the importance of FLBR. It should be the backbone of your range time. I would suggest that you watch his videos and take the time to read Hogans book. If your ever in Fairfield, California stop by and meet Brett. He is always up for a conversation about swing theories. p.s. he likes red wine and drinks Fat Tire beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
