I still don't know what you mean by the right wrist being uncocked post-impact.

I have studied Hogan's swing in depth many times. Here is a series of photos showing his right wrist movements through the impact zone.



Let' see whether we can agree on the "reality" of what is happening to his right wrist.

Image 1 shows Hogan at impact. His right wrist is bent (dorsiflexed) and level (neither upcocked or downcocked).

Image 2 shows Hogan post-impact. His right wrist is still bent and level. I can see no evidence of palmar flexion of the right wrist or any cocking movements (either radial deviation or ulnar deviation) of the right wrist. So, in what sense do you claim that Hogan uncocked his right wrist during impact and thereby applied right hand power to the ball?

Image 3 is post-followthrough and I think that it demonstrates right hand pronation (which straightens the right wrist) and left hand supination, and I think that those movements represent the start of the finish swivel action.

Jeff.
