There was a time that I had to think about uncocking the left wrist, but it was only because I had been taught that lag was created by holding on for dear life. I had, originally, a bad concept. The drive loading should uncock the left wrist, but mine did not. I used basic motion to get the feel of the uncocking wrist. In my total motion I feel as if the golf club is telescoping away from my chest. I have a constant feeling of DOWN until the end of follow-through.
Ted,

Could you please give us a bit more on how you trained yourself to get to fully Uncocked? I think this is something that very few do or even know the importance of. FULL LEVER EXTENSION is where it's at. I'm still trying to get there, but it seems to take a lot of work and trust.

Please school us more.

Muchas!

As Homer said, 'look, look, look.' Train it in a basic motion and look at the wrist. If the left wrist doesn't look uncocked, make it uncock and KEEP IT FLAT. Find that static position for which you're looking (the finish) which is follow-through for basic motion. Homer wouldn't even teach someone to make a total motion, if they couldn't achieve a chip with the proper components. Too many people try to grab the bull by the horns. Don't try new things in a total motion until they are mastered in a basic motion. There are bulls that when grabbed by the horns will slobber on you. Golf is one of those bulls.
