Try making a backswing without a club. Right arm bends from the get go of the backswing takeaway. They work together. If you only cock the left wrist and keep the elbow in the same bent, then you screw up the right wrist alignment.
Interesting bit of reverse engineering Doctor. Never thought of that one.
I think I have the answer to my question. Please respond if my understanding is still incorrect.
According to Lynn in the Drills DVD (under the drill entitled "Educating the Right Wrist"), the right wrist can "turn and roll".
However, another video taken from YouTube ("Dowels Wedges") shows Lynn saying that the right is wrist is incorrectly positioned by "cocking and uncocking".
As an aside, I think I understand the subtleties between turning/rolling and cocking/uncocking. However, Lynn's wrist action seems very similar in both these particular cases (even though he said one was correct and the other incorrect).
Back to the point, I can only assume that the act of rolling the right wrist allows the left wrist to cock in the backswing while maintaining the correct impact fix flying wedge of the right forearm.
