Thanks rwh,

I've been meaning to get back to this question but figured someone would jump in.

JT - The right wrist doesn't cock, it bends back on itself. Go ahead and put your right arm in front of you, when you cock your wrist, you will see wrinkles in the skin below your thumb. Now instead of cocking, bend it back. You will see wrinkles across the back of your hand, but not below your thumb. Now, your results may vary depending on your anatomy, but you get the idea.

As rwh mentions, at the top of the swing you don't need to cock your right wrist. The bent right elbow acts to put the right forearm and wrist in the correct alignment at the top. Your LEFT wrist will cock.

This is PART of what is known as the "Flying Wedges" in TGM. The concept is important enough that Yoda will very likely post a thread for it in the the advanced forum.
