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.

Note: I do not answer direct questions or points raised against my untested and unproven theories, have no history of teaching anyone, and post essentially the same nonsense in everyone's Member Swing threads.

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.
