10-18-C. SINGLE Here, the Left Wrist is Cocked but not Turned. The Action has three alternative procedures:

1. Let the Pivot bring Horizontal Hinging to a normal On Plane "Top" position.
2. Let the Pivot bring Angled Hinging to a normal On Plane "Top" position.
3. Hold the Wrist "Vertical" throughout for a True Single Action "Top" position.

Normally, we....TGM'ers, use the Right Forearm Takeaway procedure with "Delayed Hip Action". This requires that we "Turn" the Left Wrist at Start-up while the Shoulders remain momentarily Stationary. If we choose not to "Swivel" during this period, our Right Elbow will become Aligned for Drive Loading - Radial Acceleration and Angled Hinging. If we choose to Swivel during Start-up, then our Right Elbow will be Aligned for Drag Loading - Longitudinal Acceleration and Horizontal Hinging.

10-18-C (above) outlines the three "typical" options for Aligning the Left Wrist and the Right Forearm Flying Wedge at the Top of the Stroke when using a "Standard Hip Action" Start-up. This is your garden variety "Shoulder Turn Takeaway" in which the Pivot and/or Shoulders Turns the Left Wrist during the Backstroke. The Shoulders begin to Turn which therefore Turns the Left Wrist.

Below is an explanation for each of these options:

1. Keep your Right Elbow in a Pitched alignment which Aligns the RFFW for Horizontal Hinging.
2. Keep your Right Elbow in the Punch alignment which Aligns the RFFW for Angled Hinging.
3. Keep the Left Wrist Vertical to the Ground (regardless of Elbow Location) for True Single Action.
