I think you are cocking your wrists, even if you don't think so. A video would be nice.

 

As to how instructors should teach and maybe use MGS for those who don't want to put in as much effort... I don't buy it. I think that the average person can learn to play decent golf with a "traditional" swing, even if they don't have tons of time.

And the guy on the video isn't a demonsrator, he's a guy who's been using the swing and is convinced that the important thing about MGS is the setup. So the video is about the setup. It's not about whether his wrist is cocked(which Mrs. Kanwar says is OK, just not too much) or not,  it's about, as the guy says in the video"the meat and potatoes" of the swing is in the setup

 

That's pretty much it.

 

So he swings one with no wrist cock, and about half a swing and gets 128 mph......then he swings a bit longer with a bit of wrist cock, again not too much ,and makes 140......good, this is still MGS as he says, .......then he has some full swings with full on lag, big shoulder turn etc etc and gets 150. Thats it.

 

Anyway, Iacas you say the only way to hit it out of my shadow is to use my wrists. Front 9 today my drives were 240 meters, 200(into the scrub!!), 260(drove to 15 meters of the front of the green) then 287 meters(wind assisted, good bounce).  So my front wrist in these swings is as firm as I can make it without losing the ability to hinge at the elbow.

Why not shoot us non-believers a video of your swing so we can see it with our own eyes? Have you ever seen your swing on video? You might be surprised at what is really going on, then again, I might be the one surprised but until you show us we'll never know.

Yep, well what makes me kind of confident in the whole wrist thing is I know when I start using my wrist when I get a bit tired and start to loose my technique. What tends to happen is my distances start to drop and my accuracy gets sketchy. If I re-concentrate my mind on the task and give my body a good talking to then the accuracy and power gets better.......yeah, yeah, I know FEEL AINT REALa3_biggrin.gif

I'd wager a good sum of money on the fact that you're using your wrists in the swing you say doesn't use your wrists.
