The wedges remain intact from top, throught impact, to finish. It is a great way to get back on track, by focusing on finish alignments.
Mr. Champion,

Would you please share your Right Hand grip Angle on the Club? I mean Palm up; how many degrees across the Palm/Fingers?

I start with a right arm flying wedge with my bent level and vertical right wrist. I may be a little different but I prefer to start closer to fix than most "pure swingers". I like structure and this gives me that feel. No wobble!

All...the...way?
Mr. Golfnome,

Do I understand that your right wrist remains bent from start to finish, or are you referencing the resetting of the wedges at finish?

Like I said, I start closer to fix than most, but not all the way. Once my right wrist sets I do try to maintain to finish. I think it is quite simple to do, just go to fix, then to both arms straight, maintain extensor action and pivot and watch the left arm fold as the right wrist remains bent.

Extensor action and body rotation create the finish swivel and allow PP#1,2, and 3 to remainglued to the shaft.

Liquid Magma
That is what I thought you said. There seems to be some debate about keeping the right wrist bent from follow through to finish. Some people maintain that there is too much force; the right wrist will flatten (like many pga tour players do) That is my favorite alignment...I want to keep it all the way for alignment continuity sake.

Jeff,

Thanks for putting your motion out there for all to see. Proof that you can be smooth like "liquid magma" and still devastate low point! Watched them vids many...many times!

I scribbled this sentence in the margins of my 7th Addiction! If ever it becomes an artifact of some sort, they will wonder who Golfgnome was!

Filled with resolve and other dangerous things
New goal:

The right wrist WILL NOT flatten! I am sure it does a few degrees, but that is perhaps why HK did not talk in degreed terms! As far as the ball is concerned it was bent and level...see ya!
