So I have been having trouble lately unhinging the wrists a little early and/or not turning the club through impact. I have been messing around with hand starting positions and stumbled upon a little trick which should be completely incorrect form what I have earned so far but seems to be working. Basically I start at address with the shaft leaning slightly where my hands are inline with the ball. I hold that position into the top of the back swing and then let rip. this seems to encourage my right wrist to turn over through impact it all so has the effect of locking the wrist so unhinging is physically impossible if the fore arms remain in alignment. From the top the farther the left arm is stretch through the back swing the flatter the left wrist becomes and the down swing starts the left wrist is the gradually flattened and the turned over through impact. Would love to hear thoughts on this. If I could get some experimenters that would be cool too but I don't want to screw up anyone's swing.

Never mind it's a bad thing. It robs power and requires timing, the reason it kinda works sometimes is it prevents the uncocking of the  wrists before the forearm turns over into impact. You get the same thing by cupping the right wrist.
