Lawman,

You may have alreay tried this,  but I suggest you try increasing your arm speed(not shoulders) making sure you accelerate through impact and complete a full follow through. You should be able to find an optimum speed whereby the hands uncock naturally.

I lose all my lag well before the club gets back to the ball, and as a consequence i am a straight but short hitter.

 Not one of 6 local pros has been able to fix this for me. I read every thread on here (and lots of other places too) about lag, but so far I have not seen anything that has enabled me to generate any lag at all.

Well, you're obviously a decent player despite that, mate.

couple of things you may or may not have tried. I seem to recall you said you're a 2 planer so your hands are a bit more active coming down than a one planer, I'd guess. Have you tried actually increasing the distance between your hands and the ball as you start back? Feel almost like you're pushing the hands up and back slightly as you transition.

The other is a feel more than anything. You must feel that the purpose of the downswing is NOT to hit the ball but to CONSERVE energy.  

Hi Josh.

I recently came across the site of Andy Brown "The new four magic moves to winning golf" On the first video caption he tells you to forget all that you have been taught about the wrist break. The wrist should break at the begining of the back swing. I won't go into this in detail as I'm a complete novice compared to most people on here. All I say is check it out yourself @

What I will say is. My intentions were to go down the golfing range and try it out, but a couple of weeks back during a game, I was starting the back nine, having missed every fairway on the front, I thought, why not try it now. I did, and to my delight, I was hitting the ball crisper than ever, not only that, I was hitting the ball further than I've ever hit it.

I've played twice since with the same success. I can't argue what is right and what is wrong in the motions of a golf swing. All I can say is  (fingers crossed) It is working for me.

So, basically take a book from the 1950's and resell it!! He's not the only one who has used Joe Dante's book as a basis either... I suspect the book is out of copyright and so these people have free rein to pilfer the content.

Did you buy the package Josh, or does it say what the 4 Magic Moves are in the blurb?

I would not think tomuch about wrist cock, more getting shaft on plane, and hands in front of shaft 1/2 way back. That should put you in the right position.

Trying to force a move can be self destructive, i have done all the early set stuff, i end up just getting very narrow, and a bit inside.

Just watched Ben Curtis at open, there is an early set for you, not pritty (but it worked)

since ive adopted this earlier wrist cock i have a real problem swining in to out or square to square for that matter, it just feels like thers isnt enough room. im pulling alot of iron shots and fading and slicing the driver, oh and pulling it!

if i dont break wrists early i find it easy to go in to out, but the ball stike is nowhere near as good, any ideas? 

Hi Josh,

 I try not to give advice in general, but after trying to retain the wrist cock for longer as instructed by my pro I have had the same problems.

I had a lesson today to try to rectify this and was impressed by the results, so it might be worth you giving it a try.

My main problem was my shoulders being open at the point of impact and the solution was at the start of the downswing to get the feeling of keeping my back facing the target and the left arm swinging down on the inside brushing the body.

Possibly of less relevance to you, I had also started to stand a little too close to the ball.

Hope this helps, if not it might be time to see a pro or post a video link for more qualified advice.
