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 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.

Good photo of hogan showing all the beginners how to swing but really jeff that photo shows absolutely nothing in regard to what i stated before. Get some footage of hogan from BEHIND/ DTL i.e masters footage, hogan dvd collection etc and freeze frame when the hands exit in the follow through and come back and tell me his right wrist is in a level state and it has nothing to do with the swivel It seems obvious that my eyes see totally different things to you and sincerely i am satisfied with my eyesight .This is only my opinion though so the only way i can describe to you is the right hand is accelerated at impact in a manner like it is working under and to the left of a firm left wrist while at the same time the right wrist maintains the bend
