Early wrist cock and rotate the shoulders. He likes to set the club on the takeaway parallel to the target line which is great if you like getting under the swing plane and having a flat golf swing. A lot of his players tend to lay the club off at the top as well.

It's just his own little variation of the swing theory, as Richie has said.

I personally think David Leadbetter is overrated.

early wrist cock is what brought me to the site. i have encountered a wide variance even among top instructors as well as the best players in the world.there is not one way to swing the golf club and we all have differerent strengthsThe early wrist hinge with the left arm extended on the backswing has helped me with the club position at the top. it is more down the line now instead of across the line. also there is not a sense of my swing getting to long. i like the cock the wrists and your done thought. it has helped me shorten my swing.

    • Was this the course with 9 blind shots in the first 9 holes?
    • Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.
    • Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.
    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.
