What do you mean when you state that the right hand must move in a karate-chop move/action through impact, and how does it overpower the left wrist through impact? It is my understanding that the left wrist is flat throughout the downswing (even while it is uncocking as a result of the release of power accumulator #2) and followthrough, and that the left wrist uncocking occurs secondary to centrifugal action, and not due to any right-sided (right forearm/hand) forces. I cannot imagine what it means when one states that the left wrist/hand is overpowered through impact - unless one is a flipper, who incorrectly straightens the right wrist through the impact zone. Hogan, obviously, didn't perform any right hand flipping action through the impact zone - based on photographic evidence.

It is my impression that Hogan's right elbow is especially bent at impact because he rotated his pelvis to a very open position by impact, and simultantaneously maintained his right pitch elbow position in front of the right hip.

I am assuming you are asking about hogan later in his post accident days so look at some footage of that . The cf force eventually causes the left hand to begin to uncock my opinion is that he used his right hand as i stated like a karate chop at impact without losing the bend in his right wrist it has nothing to do with his forearm . Seems pretty obvious that the right wrist is in an uncocked position when the arms come back into view in the follow through on a DTL sequence.Just my opinion anyway
