Golf Instruction Online
Golf Instruction online is a valuable tool to learn the specifics of the game of golf. An example: The human eye cannot detect the nearly instantaneous 180-degree rotation of the clubhead through the ball. But a proper rotation of the arms plus a cocking of the wrists during the lift ‘n coil and subsequent counter-rotation of the arms and unleashing of that wristcock through the ball add considerable (but invisible) speed to the clubhead, and launch speed to the ball. (Relaxed muscles in the forearms, wrists and hands are essential!)
One of Webster’s definitions of the word ‘swing’ is “To move to and fro”. As a noun, Webster says a ‘flail’ is: “ of a long wooden handle or staff and a shorter, free-swinging stick attached to its end.”
To ‘flail’ is defined as: “To beat with a flail”. Begin To Think About Junking “Swing” Does what’s going on with those clubheads in the photos on page 20 look more like Webster’s ‘swing’ or ‘flail’? The flail illustrated is designed specifically for the large shaft to swing and for the smaller head to whip around for threshing.
Wristcock is a subject that gets lots of conversation. If you lift ‘n coil as described earlier, and stay loose, your wrists will do just what you want them to do--without you needing to think about them. In case you have any question about the direction of wristcock, here’s a simple drill. Fondle a club, hold it vertically with your wrists about the height of your chest. Keeping your forearms still, bend your wrists up and try to tap your forehead with the clubshaft.
That’s the direction of wristcock.
