IMPORTANT UPDATE: My instruction evolves. Since I wrote this, my discoveries have led me to believe, it is best to maintain the setup position of the wrists during the backswing and through impact and when the body has finished rotating, the wrists will release. There is no benefit at all (only problems) allowing the wrists …
I recently replied to a students comment about how he checks his balance by wiggling his toes just before he hits and I really like the idea of checking your Balance and being Centered, but prefer my method that also covers other concerns at the same time. My answer: I see the concept behind the …
