The alignment you've described requires a 90 degree bend of the Right Wrist. Though this extreme is possible, it is not normal. See my last comment below.

The two Wedges describe respective Arm-and-Clubshaft alignments. Neither is On Plane at the Top. See Photos 9-3-6 and 10-6-B #2. Originally Posted by Jeff . . . but the right forearm flying wedge is at a 90 degree angle to the left arm flying wedge. Agreed, but this alignment long has been misunderstood by TGM students. What it means is that the respective Wedges with their own unique alignments are brought together in a 90 degree relationship (as in palm-to-palm). It does not mean that the Right Forearm is perpendicular to the Left (at the Top or otherwise). Instead, it comes in at the angle dictated by the Right Wrist Bend (as established at Impact Fix), just as a supporting strut angles into an airplane's wing. Only a 90 degree bend -- possible, but extreme -- will produce a 90 degree relationship between the Forearms. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
