I think I read somewhere that he does that to keep from hooking the ball.

The strongest position for the right hand is not cupped..it is arched forward. It is also by far the quickest. It works from behind centerline.

This is what I believe is happening in VJs picture, and with other top pros as well.

This is my opinion, but if you doubt me go to "one plane swing" and look under "my over the top move from 1977" posted by moonshot.

I'm not saying it is better, I just think better players intuitvely understand it.

mac uses this drill to help your takeaway i hit shots with it often, the plane angle shaft that is. all you do is stick the shaft in the ground on your plane line at the same angle your club is at at address about 2 feet behind the ball. i actually hit it on the backswing because i take it away on the hands plane but on the downswing i miss it by 4 to 5 inches. if you look at alot of video youll notice almost every one except hogans shaft raises 5to 12 degrees from address to impact thats why you dont hit on downswing.

X-Rated
That photo should be banned from this forum! Not only does he not have the "frozen bent" right wrist, but, he also clearly isn't using extensor action.

Thanks for the pics Anakin. Knowing the way that I am swinging at the moment, I will hit the shaft on the way down, hit the shaft on the ground, then the ball and then the water bottle!!!

VJ-- Swinger
As I understand Swinging... only a Swinger could have much success with a right hand Position like this at IMPACT.
Couples also does something very similar.

A Hitter, ideally NEEDS, and USES the #1 Pressure Point, but Swingers do not necessarily need it here.
