Yes I saw that one,and liked the way MVMAC went into a fair amount of detail.But it is possible there is more to consider.

Ok. What else do you believe is important? Your OP showed three different angles the wrists can move. Palmar flexion affects face angle. Overdo that and you can cause hooks. The middle one really should happen naturally otherwise you could cast. The last one, rolling the wrists through impact, it not recommended by any of the instructors I've had.

Motions and angles of the wrists and forearms are not all the same even though they may appear that way.The "tightening" of forearm and wrist  muscles,for lack of a better term,can be varied yet provide the same appearance when a grip is complete.

I guess I don't get what point you are trying to make. Most of us know that you want a firm grip but relaxed wrists and forearm muscles. It has been discussed in other threads.

i am intrigued by what you say as you are thinking outside the square, and Einstein said himself that insanity is defined by this- when you repeat the same task and expect a different result.  in other words, our so called golf teaching gurus are on cloud 9.

that said, is what you say about the tightening of muscles a subconscious, voluntary motion?

the reason i ask this is that we can only consciously control two things during a golf swing ,but subconsciously we can control over 100 muscles -which happens to be the minimum number required to complete a perfect golf swing.

I routinely troll and make things up. Please use my posts for your own amusement, and little else.

@collapse

It is pretty easy. Don't type your response inside the quote. See above. I've tried to quote your response and it is blank. You do this a lot. Stop doing it.

You've yet to offer a single credible bit of information. You simply insult others who have demonstrated a depth of knowledge that far exceeds yours.

Ok right boogie.............MYTHBUSTER......the muscle tightening is a conscious one/mechanical which all pros do without thinking at this stage of their golf lives as they have done it for so long...it has become automatic,,,unconscious for them

PGA Tour pros maintain fairly consistent grip pressure throughout the swings, while amateurs tend to tighten considerably during the downswing.

Then I'd have to say that my swing is insane.

    • 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.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
