I'm not sure how this will affect other parts of your swing but try a weaker grip. A strong grip can promote a cupped wrist at A1. The first thing James had me do when I started with Evolvr was to weaken the grip to help get rid of the cup at address as it was throwing things off at A4.

Here is that lesson from James as he explains things a little better in there:

Hope that helps.

Hi @keeps21 , thanks for taking the time to look at my swing and the advice.  I've definitely got to bow "the shit" out of it during the backswing as @mvmac and you suggested.  It's such an opposite feel for me which is why I'm finding it difficult to achieve.  My grip is already quite weak, the lack of shaft lean is probably what makes my wrist look cupped in the picture.  I've been looking at videos of DJ and he starts to bow the wrist from the beginning of the takeaway, so if it's good enough for him, I'm going to give it a shot!

I'm having a lesson locally next week so hopefully a one to one session will aid my progress.

Thanks again for your help and good luck with your progress, your swing is looking good considering you have had 18 months off.

No problem. :-) Hopefully it helps a little. Thanks very much! :-)

I stumbled across the "twist away" takeaway to create a flatter left wrist and it seems to make an improvement. Time and repetition will decide whether it makes any difference. The golf swing is not decided by the position at the top though. A flatter wrist should be the easier part, the OTT and weight shift are where my swing will need major work.

    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
    • A bit old.. but this rule is kind of unfair ...  Lets say that you have Emiliano Grillo and Darren Clark playing together on a PGA event and on one hole both hit the ball to the middle of the fairway only 1 inch apart. When they arrive to the ball Darren take his stand and water comes out from the ground and remains there so he procceds take a free drop on a dry area and hit his shot.  Afterwards Grillo takes his stance in the same spot as Clark, but because he is a lot ligther, no water araise from the ground. According to the rules he is not allowed a free drop from the same spot darren had a free drop seconds before. I would love to see this happenning live on TV. Can an argument be made by grillo? could and official use the "spirit of the rule" to let him have a free drop?     
    • Day 84 (24 Jul 25) - Weekly nine hole round cancelled as the course was tied up with a ladies tournament.  No worries - set up with the 54deg wedge and worked on varied shots with green side focus in mine (those nGIR's).  Worked between high floaters and low spinners from varied lies replicating the types of lies I typically see on the courses around here.  
    • I meant lb for lb - so yes I agree it's wheel weight. How would you go about explaining that to someone? Perhaps the rotational inertia being higher with heavier wheels and the rotational inertia of the wheel requiring more torque to make its angular acceleration increase at the same rate? 
    • Day 7: Had a virtual putting lesson with @iacas. Spent some time afterwords working with the metronome.
