The Bent Right Wrist

[EdZ]

One of the most overlooked 'actions' in a swinger's motion is the bent right wrist. During a swing the left wrist only cocks and uncocks (via the right forearm) and the right wrist only bends.

Most hitters have that bent right wrist down pretty well. Starting from impact fix tends to help give the feel for that bend, but swingers often get caught up with swivel and, while understandable, the focus is on the flat left wrist.

It is far easier for most people to learn to focus on a bent right wrist and maintain it - hence also having a flat left.

It is the 'wheel rim' feel, the maintenance of that bend in the right wrist.

For those of you struggling to keep good compression, shift your focus to maintaining that bent right wrist. It will help you understand the 'magic' of the right forearm.

Been missing your great posts, ED Z.

Just like this one.

EdZ, I have a problem with that procedure. I don't disagree, but I'm unable to do it. I've been very successful with Start-up Swivel, but my Right Wrist Bends as my Left Wrist Flattens only during the Release Swivel. I don't want to change my procedure but I would really like to understand why I can't swing with my Right Wrist Bent throughout the swing as you recommend and as I have tried for so many years.

If my problem is obvious, please tell me. Otherwise, I'll continue many more years suffering tortuous research to learn and find the answer. Which, by the way, is quite familiar to me.

After Impact?

After Impact?

YES.I would say -as soon as the right arm straightens!

Really? That's it? I never thought of that. I'll try the next time I'm at the range. Mind you, it's purely educational. I wouldn't trade the Start-up swivel for anything.

It doesn't work. Not possible to swing with a FLW Backstroke and Downstroke, with 10-20-E and Horizontal Hinge. Incompatible with 10-20-E. I wouldn't agree under torture.

Swivel Startup, Swivel to FLW/BRW during Release. Let the Force be with you.

I'll admit that with 10-2-F it worked a little bit.

[Daryl]

Renewed Effort.

10-2-F solved the problem. But Why? The Right Hand motion with 10-2-F is similar/same as Right Hand motion with 10-2-B with Swivel Release?

10-2-F provides a long, almost seemingly long drawn out #3 Accumulator Roll like a Larger Pulley. 10-2-B with Swivel is very much shorter and comparatively Late Release, smaller Pulley. Hmm? With same effort, Faster Clubhead speed with 10-2-B and Swivel.

I'm sure I've missed some important points. Anyone?

I have options.

Did 10-2-F cause Angled Hinging?.. It sure seems like it. Also I can't Load the Clubshaft. I'm Loading the Primary Lever like a Hitter. Ugh!:
