no matter how hard I try , I feel it's impossible for me to have a flat left wrist at the top of my swing, Is there something I'm doing wrong. I've watched every video known to man about this. I've gripped all different ways. Could it be im actually doing it, but I think I'm not?

It may not even be essential that you have a flat left wrist at the top of your backswing. PGA Tour players often do not.

Welcome to TST. There's no one way to swing.

Hi,

Thank you. Im familiar with 5sk. Watched the video many times.

Then don't obsess over something that's not a Key. ;-) Are you obtaining a flat left wrist at impact?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Hi,

I believe i am maintaining flat left wrist at impact, although it does flip every once in awhile when i try to swing to hard.

Kinda tough to see anything in that video...

You should start a My Swing thread if you haven't already.

My take on it is that having a flat left wrist at the top of the backswing is really only significant if you understand where the club face is and what type of grip you use. With a preference for a stronger grip and I don't personally want to see my A4 with a flat left wrist. I agree with @Ernest Jones that you should start a swing thread.

Tough to achieve inline impact (flat left wrist) when the weight doesn't get forward.

Compare this left knee and the amount the lower body has transferred forward

to these guys

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
