At the same time I was always surprised at how far shots would still go when trying to keep that RW level. I think I've made so many swings in my golf career that I revert back to what "feels" like it will create more power (which I think is why many players cock the RW). The old "feel vs real" thing.
On a related note, can you "overbend" the right wrist?

Yoda showed me in 10 seconds. Stationary head. I said to him: "My head is as stationary as a rock! and he said: No, but it's a lot like a rock! lol) As soon as he made me keep a stationary head (he yelled: Cover the BAll!) and turn my hands at Startup, my right wrist stopped Cocking as my Right Shoulder went back to the Plane (he also hit me in the head a few times to get it to sink in). Then when my Left Hand Uncocked a split second before impact, I felt my right wrist Roll (Swivel) into Imact for the first time in my life. My Left Wrist even arched because my hands were so far ahead of the ball at impact. It made a very different sound. We both grabbed a drink and went out and shot 2 over par.
Yoda needed the drink to recover from the first ten minutes of my lesson. I needed one to celebrate.
