Use of wrist to generate distance

[GlobeGuy]

Currently, I have very passive wrist. I just relax both right and left wrist and swing. Whatever they do, hinging/unhinging is the result of force from other body parts that's driving my clubhead.

Then I heard that keeping 90 degrees at your wrist and forearm is ideal during downswing until your arm reaches your hip to generate speed at impact. This guy is talking about the concept . Now with the completely relaxed wrists that I have, I'm not retaining this 90 degree angle.

In order for you to do what this guy is talking about, you can't have passive wrists can you? Your wrist must active roll/snap/break in order to generate that movement?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can but it requires better direction, and sustained accelleration.

In short, if you are releasing the lag too early, it's because you stopped accellerating. Trying to CREATE this L shape with tension and muscular strength is basically the difference between hitters and swingers. Right now you're a swinger, and he's describing a hitting concept. Trying to do both can lead to disasterous results.
