It is not the V's position that is important - it is the capability to get the two wrist to bend backwards for an extreme cocking lead by the right hand. THE SWING IS STARTED BY THE LEFT SHOULDER PUSHING TOWARDS THE BALL AND AT THE SAME TIME THE LEFT WRIST WILL CONSCIOUSLY START LIFTING THE CLUB UPWARDS. This left wrist lift is essential (especially the longer the shaft is - like the driver) and integral part of this secret.
The left shoulder pushes out in a lifting motion to an extreme coiled finish while the left hand cocks the club to an extreme cocked wrist with the feeling that the club is already pointing past parallel and pointing towards the front rather than the along the plane. In reality, it is along the plane and pointed to the target when viewed by somebody else. There must be a feeling of symmetry and harmonious balance in this move. THIS MOVE AND THE EXTREME COCKED LEFT WRIST ARE NOT ONLY ESSENTIAL BUT INTEGRAL TO THIS SECTION. THEY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS IN THIS POSTING. With it, it makes the long clubs (like the driver) feel like short irons. However, this move I found out is not easy to do. The most expedient way to do this for me is to just push the left shoulder the club head while the left wrist cocks it all the way to the "slot" until the right palikpik muscles ache. This move however needs the conventional grip of Hogan. Since it uses the conventional grip and the result is the same - extreme cocking - then this must be the better way!
This extreme cocking makes it possible for the right hand to dominate but the setting (V's) of the left hand prevents the right hand to over-power the left. THIS EXTREME COCKING CAN ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE LEFT SHOULDER PUSH AND LEFT WRIST LIFT. When properly executed, the long clubs like the driver, will feel - at point of impact - as if a short iron was hit. It delays the hit to the point the ball is hit when the hips have already cleared - like a sideways hit already.
