Facial Recognition: Correct Your Ball Flight ... Quick Tip #2 with Michael Breed 

If you extend hands thumbs down until they lock up in ulnar deviation a Vardon grip will prevent the forearms from rotating and the only way you can move the club with the hands is to waggle it up with shaft at about a 45° angle /. That restriction of rotation prevents the spinning of the shaft he’s talking about and and the free waggling from thumb down (ulnar deviation release ) to thumb up (radial deviation cocking) will result automatically when you swing. It is the genius hidden in the way the Vardon grip wraps pad of trail hand over lead thumb which is only revealed at full maxed out ulnar deviation - same ‘uncocking’ wrist action as cracking whip, fly casting or releasing a ball when tossing it forward . When you waggle the club up and down like that notice how effortlessly it accelerates the club head and changed the face angle. If you arrange the face in the hands at address with hands in ulnar deviation and face square to target you will find when you let the force of the swing pull hands into the waggle down orientation (ulnar deviation) the face will start open but swing square by impact producing a straight shot IF you aim slightly inside of center on the ball relative to target line >o not dead square on the back + It’s counter intuitive but if you hook the ball left when adding the waggle action you may be doing a bit late and the face is past square when ball releases. The solution? Try aiming a bit more inside on the ball giving the face more time to close with ball compressed on face before releasing. Seems counter intuitive until you observe how fast the face snaps to square and wrists lock in unlar deviation as if hitting a doorstop. It was one of Hogan’s ‘secret’ moves you will discover if you read his Five Lessons and try what he suggests but he doesn’t explain how or why it works like I’ve tried to.
