Down Cock

[virtuocity]

As well as something that starts to happen the older you get (so I've heard), this appears to be the solution to maintaining wrist cock and increasing power.

I must say that I've never heard of this in my life!!!

Has anyone heard of anything like this before? Seems a bit daft to me.

I think you missed off the hyphen in the title.

Isn't that something similar to how Sergio Garcia gets his lag?

I've never heard it called that before, but if you've got Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf then I think that's what he refers to as the supination of the left wrist. Certainly looks similar to the sequences on pages 82, 102 & 106.

That's what the guy in the video says.

Doesn't it just cause you to close the clubface?

That's what Ben Hogan called "supination" and my pro (Paul Page) teaches

It stopped Hogan from hooking violently and most pros use it to deloft the club through impact and get a lower stronger flight. I constantly try to do it as I've been prone to cocking the wrong hand at the top of the swing and when I get it right its a very powerful move.

Ah, got no sound on works PC, just going off his demonstration.

Jones's left wrist supination was at/through impact! A slightly incorrect term btw. as the wrist isn't really involved (other being attached to the bits that move).

As for down-cock (catchy title btw.) it seems a bit contrived to me. I'll stick with Pump-Drilling my way to decent lag via The Lag Doctor's style - slightly more natural to me.
