Clarify wrist hinge, wrist set,wrist cock for me

[dchoye]

Want to discuss some common used terms in golf instruction.

And distinguish what difference ?

1)wrist set- my interpretation is the 90* angle form by the wrist and forearm. Can be early or late set during the takeaway. Once the wrist are set, will be released subconsciously through CF .

2)wrist cock- my interpretation is that it is downward pressure of the wrists and forearms much like hammering, different from wrist set in that energy is released consciously.

3)wrist hinge-my interpretation is that it is upward/backward hinging of the wrist somewhat opposite motion to that of wrist cock. Can remain hinged when hitting the ball or unhinged  when hitting the ground.

Thoughts?

Wrist set, wrist cock, and wrist hinge are synonyms. They're golf slang for radial deviation.

I agree with wrist cock being radial deviation, but I believe wrist hinge is flexion. I've never heard of wrist set. [IMG]http://getmgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Wrist-Movement-Pic.gif[/IMG]

No, flexion is palmar flexion/wrist bowing/wrist arching.

Wrist set, wrist hinge, and wrist cock are slang for the same thing: radial deviation.

Extension is dorsiflexion/wrist cupping.

I don't necessarily agree.

That is to say they are whatever they mean to the golfer at the time. To the people talking.

If I'm talking with a golfer and we define "wrist cocking" as taking your left thumb and moving it toward your nose, and wrist hinging as folding the right wrist back, cool. That's what we call it.

Hence, why instruction/understanding others in golf is difficult because it means different things to different people. Which is dumb IMO.

Dumb in general. You're not dumb, brother.

Yes sometimes I heard wrist hinge meaning flexion as well. Wrist hinge can be like the term "release" specific to the player himself
