Flying Wedge Alignments

Yoda, 1. I've read a few of your posts on wrist positions. You emphasize the fact that the right wrist NEVER cocks. I just don't understand how I can cock my left wrist WITHOUT cocking my right. It's just not possible! 2. Also, by the same logic, a bent right wrist guarantees a flat left wrist, doesn't it? 3. Another question, is the left wrist allowed to bend after the follow through (both arms straight) or is it only allowed to roll?

1. It is not only possible to maintain a Bent and Level Right Wrist whileCocking and Uncocking the Flat Left Wrist, it is mandatory. Study theFlying Wedges (6-B-3-0-1).

2. Maintaining the Right Wrist Bend guarantees a Flat Left Wrist, but onlyif the Right Wrist Bend is precisely the amount established at Impact Fix.If the Bend is less, the Left Wrist will be Bent. If more, it will be Arched.Be aware that the further Forward the Ball is positioned, the greater theamount of Right Wrist Bend. And the further back, the lesser the amount.

3. After the Follow-Through, the Flat Left Wrist Swivels back against the Planeand then Bends as the Right Wrist Flattens (Right Palm down to the face of thePlane). This is the reverse of their positions in the Backstroke. At theFinish, most really good players have restored the original Flying Wedgealignments, i.e., the Flat Left Wrist and the Bent Right Wrist and theirperpendicular relationship to each other.
