BUT surely the wrist can't be level (at least the same exact degree of level) in both positions. I think that you are saying that the right elbow bends more at impact than address, due to secondary axis tilt and right shoulder moving downplane - this I agree -

BUT if the ball position is fixed and you keep the exact degree of level right wrist and merely lower right shoulder and increase right elbow bend then is only 1 possibility :-

- Shaft plane flattens and clubhead moves away from ball position

BUT if you maintain shaft plane, clubhead-ball position and lower right shoulder and bend right elbow ( such that it then goes to on plane) THEN the right wrist must bend ( become more uncocked than level )

I am not trying to awkward - I love the simplicity of "keep right wrist level / no cocking and bend right elbow to cock left wrist" so simple but I just can't see the mechanics.

I have been through the archives and found this post by Yoda and I always thought I was achieving this:

The On Plane Right Forearm

The truly On Plane Right Forearm demands a Body at or near Impact Fix. That condition results in the Hip Slide (Weight Shift) that tilts the Shoulder Turn Axis (the spine) and thus lowers the Right Shoulder. This results in a greater Bend in the Right Elbow than when the Right Shoulder is higher in its non-Impact condition.

Hence, most great players -- especially Swingers in their Standard Adjusted Address -- have a Right Forearm slightly higher at Address than at Impact.

BUT now I have been thinking about it the right wrist must change its degree of "level" if the shaft plane and clubhead-ball alignments stay the same.

Let's see if we're in agreement and I'm understanding you. If you set up at impact fix- with the right wrist level and the right forearm on plane. Then you go back to adjusted address and the right elbow comes up and off the plane- then everything else being the same- the right wrist is now in a cocked position. Correct?
