Locking UP the Wrist Action in the Golf Swing, a Wrist Action that will Sync and Preset 80 Percent of the Golf Swing by Locking the Wrists
The key in Locking UP the Wrist action in the golf swing is to Sync and Preset the wrist into the Lock Position as shown above.
There is just two maneuvers that are simple and instinctive maneuver that will deliver more consistency in hitting more fairways and greens in regulation on the golf course. In the Address-Lock Position, if there is one indicator that the golfer has Synced and Preset the wrists properly, it is looking down and seeing the image shown above of the wrists is a great check position.
If Rembrandt were going to paint a classic wrist action in the Lock Position in the golf swing for an illustration for a textbook, this would be the portrait. This is classic Ben Hogan Lock Position in the featured image, this represents establishing 80 percent of the entire golf swing with TWO (2) simple and instinctive maneuvers called Palmar Flexion, or (Palmarflex for short) maneuver like throwing a baseball with the lead wrist followed by a Pronation with the trailing wrist maneuver like swing a baseball bat, shown below.
Below I did a 3-part video series that I did for a local sports show demonstrating the Synch-Preset Lock position (what I call the Palmarflex- Pronation Maneuvers) similar to throwing a baseball and swing a baseball bat. This is also how a batter standing in the batter’s box would set up their swing. The golfer could use this familiar baseball swing technique to develop an incredible consistency golf swing, even on the first tee box. This one piece takeaway maneuvers is so easy and consistent that it took me just one take for each of the three (3) part videos I did for the Sport Zone Show with the camera crew.
What I’m demonstrating in this video series using special practice balls that are hit in feet instead of yards where the camera crew could capture where the balls were landing in regards to the Orange Bucket. This would represent a 295- yard Tee Shot to within 15- foot of the Home Depot Orange Bucket with a golf pin and flag. But the major concern for the camera crew was capturing where my tee shots were landing.

As appreciation for me doing this 3-part video series, the WJTV-12 production team put together a Television promotional video that they ran before their Sports Zone Show and that I could use in my golf training:
If the golfer could lock the wrists into the Lock Position, shown above in the illustration and videos, before taking the handle of the club up to the top, from the Locking Position, the golfer would run the tables on the golf course to break 80, and even Par the course.

One Piece Take Maneuvers from Your Baseball Swing to the Golf Swing
There are two instinctive maneuvers that all of us have performed since childhood, especially if we played catch with your father, mother, sister, or brother and swinging a baseball bat with the trail wrist. If your golf swing on the course isn’t instinctive based on instinctive motor skills developed during early childhood development, you won’t be able to have a reliable golf swing on the golf course. The golfer has to go back to childhood to develop a reliable golf swing, if not you will never have the consistency you would like to have in your golf game.
There TWO muscle memories needed to establish 80 percent of the golf swing into the Lock Position, shown above. You’ve heard of the phrase- Set-it-and-forget-it, and this is what The Palmer-Pro Golf Coach APP does. The Palmer-Pro Golf Coach APP allows the golfer to use the Palmaris Longus (visible muscle), shown below, to set the Palmer (Sync) maneuver and the Brachio-Radialis muscle to (Preset) the wrists into the Lock Position.
By just using this one tendon/muscles, the golfer will be able to transition their baseball swing from the batter’s box to the Tee-Box to hit more fairways and greens with consistency and accuracy. The golfer using The Palmer-Pro Golf Coach APP will not only gain distance and accuracy, but more important, confidence. There is no substitute for confidence on the golf course.
The term APP– means Apperception meaning to take motor skills from one sport, like baseball, and utilize these same motor skills in another sport, like golf.
