The Wedges with Standard or Single Wrist Action BM#190

clubhead.



Maintaining the Flying Wedge Assembly alignments throughout the Stroke is
mandatory. However, the procedure used to accomplish this goal is optional.

The second procedure you have described -- Single Wrist Action (10-18-C-2)
-- is typically the Hitter's choice. It is indeed quite structured,
and it is not surprising that you Feel it as more "mechanical."
Here, the Pivot brings the Left Wrist into its On Plane Condition at The Top.
Hence, though the Left Wrist gradually Turns to the Top, there is no true
Rotation (Swivel) of the Left Wrist on the Backstroke.

Similarly, this procedure has no true Rotation (Swivel) on the Downstroke.
The Left Wrist simply reverses its Backstroke Motion and gradually Rolls
into Impact. In other words, the Left Wrist Turns and Rolls (due to the
Turning of the Body and the orbiting of the Arm) but it is not deliberately
Turned and Rolled (by the player). During the Release Interval, this Action
is Powered by the Thrust of the Hitter's Active Right Elbow. At all times
during the Stroke, the right-angled relationship of the Left Arm and Right
Forearm Flying Wedges are maintained.

In contrast, your preferred procedure is the Swinger's Standard
Wrist Action
(10-18-A) with its deliberate Start Up and Release Swivels
-- True Rotation -- and, also, its Sequenced Release (4-D-0) of the
Left Wrist (Uncock) and Left Hand (Roll). As the Flat Left Wrist Turns and
Rolls On Plane, the Bent Right Wrist and Right Forearm likewise Turn and
Roll, thereby maintaining the proper 90 degree support of the Left Arm Flying
Wedge. Centrifugal Force does almost all the work, and the whole thing
requires a lot less effort and concentration than Hitting. As Homer said,
"You can practically sleep and swing."

No wonder you like it better
