    Default Hinging of the wrist?

    First I will like to say that this forum is a great idea and iniciative of your part (or team). I wish prosperity for it, and I also wish it will stop my tip hunting all over the internet!!! This is my first visit and first post as well.

    Question:

    Every lesson I have taken, every pro's swing I have analyzed in the V1 Home , showed a "hinge" of wrist at the top of the backswing and a "release" or "unhinge" right before impact. Seems to me (and I've been told) that is the only way that you can come from the "inside". And early unhinge will just cause anyone to cast the club from the outside (get it out of plane). Question, how come you have never talk about this? The reason I ask is because, that move of holding the hinge precisly before impact, is a lot of much coordination that I can handle right now. I can't do it..it's too skilled for me right now.

    Regards,

    I will explain two things to you. I believe CASTING is when you unhinge and don't move the bottom half of your body out of the way. Now, you can unhinge too early from the inside or from the outside.

    Two things can happen (unless you play the tour) if you try and hold on. You will either hit right or right/to/right. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, no pun intended, that is a very difficult move to try and accomplish.

    I believe the golf club has to start unhinging sooner than we think.

    Question

    Thank you for taking my question. You took a lot a pressure out of my shoulders by confirming that the move I describe above was very difficult to acomplish. I'm don't plan on playing the tour, so I, for now will desist of it.

    Question (anybody can answer):

    What do you mean by: "You will either hit right or right/to/right."

    Right is a push, right to right is a push and then it fades or slices further right.
