Every week, someone asks how you can Cock your Left Wrist without doing the same with the Right Wrist.

Yesterday, stags14 asked:


I hope these pictures will shed some light.




The blue triangle shows one possible visual representation of the Left Arm Flying Wedge.

What people fail to understand about how the right wrist does not cock (vertical motion) is because of FOREARM ROTATION.

I always knew there was something there, but wasn't aware it was that big! The Magicof the Right Forearm has somehow stimulated the embryo!

Arghh! In some ways I regret putting those pics up as they have led to more debate, conflict and confusion -- exactly the opposite of my initial intent. For good pics of how The Flying Wedges should look like normally at the Top, look at Yoda or Ted Fort or Ernie Els or Tiger Woods, etc. Good pics can be found all over the place. My pictures tried to illustrate only Cocking of the Left Wrist via the Right Elbow. I think it's a good exercise to go back and forth from a straight to bent Right Arm whilst keeping a Level Right Wrist to learn the Magic of the Right Forearm, like I've demonstrated here. Yes, people are saying that this isn't exactly what happens in a real swing, but it's just an exercise.

Livin' on the Wedge
For you Wedge Experts:

I don't teach this, but, can a Swinger get the club to an on Plane parallel to the Plane Line position at the End without destroying the integrity of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge (cocked right wrist 4-B-2)?

Given the following:

1. Grips the club with a Strong Single Action, in the cup of the right hand.
2. Applies Extensor Action throughout.
3. Support the Plane with the palm of the Right Hand at the End.

Yes, that's what Yoda does when he's Swinging with his driver.

Tong,

Try to get it in those alignments (club parallel to the Plane Line). Check your Right Forearm Flying Wedge. Remember it must stay on Plane in a Bent, Level condition.

Let me further say that I don't believe that anyone need to get to that position. My experience tells me that the Right Wrist will Cock if it does, thus destroying your Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
