You do that you will definitely come over the top. Your left shoulder would be going up with the uncoil as your body is tilting more behind the ball at impact.
This would also be starting the upper body first which is totally opposite to what I teach. I want you coiling from the top and uncoiling frot he bottom.
I Posted this before but I don’t think it went through. Why do you not wear a glove? I don’t like wearing one, but here in Kansas we sweat a lot. I wear a fingerless glove. Do you use anything to prevent slipping?
When I worked on the swing I was going through a glove per week. They were $16 and I could not afford them. Synthetic gloves back then weren’t very good so I just stopped wearing them. I use Tour Wrap grips which are very tacky. Just wipe them or your hands off and they never slip.
I want to be clear. Is this a drill to loosen up your wrist or is this an actual part of the coil move? Do you intentionally roll your wrist during the coil (opening the club face going back and closing the club face going forward)?
You are just doing your backswing hinge. You are not rolling it open. From the top you are intentionally rolling the wrists earlier than necessary. This gets the ball hooking. Once you can hook it you no longer slice it. At this point you would be working on body rotation to straighten it out.

MikeNuebelHow do you feel about the first move down from the top of your backswing is to drop your left shoulder down slightly toward the left hip? Thanks Paul
