[QUOTE name="iacas" url="/t/73759/need-help-hitting-behind-the-ball/18#post_978413"] A) they're not specifically ordered. B) key 3 affects 4 more than the opposite. ;-) Plus 3 is easier than 4. :-D [/QUOTE] Haha, okay. You're just saying that because of your A4.15. :-P "B" is surprising to me, but maybe it shouldn't be. I'll think about it.

As you start to lose the flat left wrist, and the handle backs up, this can send the path left................................... ...............or so I have read. I sounded pretty good for a minute there.

Yea it can, and usually does. Sadly for me, when I lose it, the face tends to close prematurely and my start lines get yanked left but still with draw curve.

I guess anything can happen really. If I get tired of starting it too far left, I tend to compensate by just cupping more and leaving the face open, so the push shows up too.

Bottomline, losing the flat left wrist ain't no fun. :-D

Key 3 is Inline Impact. Stay with the times, guys. We changed it several months ago. :-)

Why couldn't you have a flat left wrist with a outside in path? Or am I confusing the meaning of key 4?

You could, there are definitely PGA Tour players that swing a little left but still achieve Key #3. That's a different discussion though. Generally achieving the first three Keys tends to produce an OUTward path, which is tends to be a beneficial swing direction for most golfers. There are some players that fade the ball but still swing "out", like Ryan Moore, Fred Couples. They just aim a good amount left at A1.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
