Arghh! In some ways I regret putting those pics up as they have led to more debate, conflict and confusion -- exactly the opposite of my initial intent. For good pics of how The Flying Wedges should look like normally at the Top, look at Yoda or Ted Fort or Ernie Els or Tiger Woods, etc. Good pics can be found all over the place. My pictures tried to illustrate only Cocking of the Left Wrist via the Right Elbow. I think it's a good exercise to go back and forth from a straight to bent Right Arm whilst keeping a Level Right Wrist to learn the Magic of the Right Forearm, like I've demonstrated here. Yes, people are saying that this isn't exactly what happens in a real swing, but it's just an exercise.

Livin' on the Wedge
For you Wedge Experts:

I don't teach this, but, can a Swinger get the club to an on Plane parallel to the Plane Line position at the End without destroying the integrity of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge (cocked right wrist 4-B-2)?

Given the following:

1. Grips the club with a Strong Single Action, in the cup of the right hand.
2. Applies Extensor Action throughout.
3. Support the Plane with the palm of the Right Hand at the End.

Yes, that's what Yoda does when he's Swinging with his driver.

Tong,

Try to get it in those alignments (club parallel to the Plane Line). Check your Right Forearm Flying Wedge. Remember it must stay on Plane in a Bent, Level condition.

Let me further say that I don't believe that anyone need to get to that position. My experience tells me that the Right Wrist will Cock if it does, thus destroying your Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

In the above shot, the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground, and therefore must also be parallel to the Plane Line for an On Plane Stroke (assuming Square Plane Line).

1. Yes, Strong Single Action grip by Yoda here.
2. Yup, there certainly is Extensor Action.
3. Right palm giving support to the Wedges and Secondary Lever Assembly.

Is the Right Wrist Cocked in this picture?

Going off half cocked on a level playing field
Is the Right Wrist Level?

Per 4-B-1 Level, The Wrist is Level when the wrist bone and the edge of the hand (to the first knuckle of the first finger) form a straight line.

Difficult for me to see from this angle. Is the Right Wrist still Level, is the grip still in the cup of the Right Hand? Maybe Yoda can fill us in when he gets back.

I doubt the grip is still in the cup of the right hand in the same way as it was at Address. I'd love to hear what Yoda says too!

Yoda, please tell us!
Yoda, would you say your Right Wrist is Level in this picture?



Some say that it's very hard if not impossible to maintain a Level Right Wrist at the Top when the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground like in the above photo. I for one think there are other factors involved. We'd love to hear your views!

It is probably not precisely Level, but it is close. Certainly, the Wrist is not Cocked beyond 'anatomically neutral', i.e., a 'karate chop' degree of Wristcock (which is virtually nil). Or maybe the karate chop alignment is Level (despite Photo 4-B-1). I have a photo of Homer Kelley demonstrating the Flying Wedges with Open Hands, and he is in the karate chop alignment.
