Cutting across the ball swing thought?

Today on the range I was trying to work on getting a better ball flight that I believe is caused by me cutting across the ball. I was putting a lot of thought into what I was feeling and noticed that I could feel the muscles in my wrists flexing in order to unhinge my wrists.

I thought maybe this was me casting the club too early, and I think I may have been correct. I tried to focus on letting my wrist muscles completely relax throughout the entire swing once I start my downswing and the results were balls that started flying straight. I do not know if this was correcting my cut across or if it is even a good thing to think about.

So my question is... What do you feel in your wrists and forearms during your swing?

If I feel my wrists and forearms flexing to "unhinge correctly" my shot is usually short, fat, and just plain bad. If I catch the ball well (and have "powerless arms") I don't feel my wrists at all until the finish of my swing when I stop the club.

Dunno if that helps.

Actively unhinging the right wrist is a casting/flipping guarantee ( releasing the club ...).

Maintaining the flying wedge should do a better job.

I practice to hold the right wrist hinge. I want un-cocking, but not un-hinging.

Can you explain the diff between cocking/un-cocking vs. hinging/un-hinging?

Put your right hand out straight in front of you as if you were about to karate chop something (ie. palm at 90 degrees to the floor). Keeping your arm and wrist still, move the base of your thumb straight up toward your nose. Now move your pinky straight down toward the floor. That's hinging and unhinging. Then, keeping your arm and wrist parallel to the floor, bend your hand back to the right as far as it will go. Then forward to the left as far as it will go. That's cocking and uncocking.

try to hit a few like dustin johnson and you'll get the idea. the lead wrist should be flat without turning or flipping, and the body should be turning to square up the face. for me, my left wrist is my nemesis as i have a tendency to cup it from time to time. if you don't allow the wrist to flatten out before you hit the ball, your best shot will be well right and your worst shot will be a shank.
