Flying Wedges Training Device
SBARK,

In his post above, Yoda has provided an excellent drill to help train the right wrist not to cock.

I have also used a device known as "The Key" by Gary Wirens to help train the Left and Right Arm Flying Wedges. The device provides a partial training effect for training the right wrist not to cock.

The device is a wrist strap about 12" long that you wear on the back of your left or right forearm. It attaches to the arm with two velcro straps. "The Key" comes in a left and a right hand model, although you can get the right hand model and flip it and use it on your left forearm as well. "The Key" can be bent and when worn on the right hand you bend it to establish the desired amount of right wrist bend. When used with the left arm it is kept straight or slightly convex.

When worn on the left forearm it gives a very good feel for the Left Arm Flying Wedge. When you hit balls while wearing it you will understand the meaning of 1-L-8, "No portion of the primary lever assembly can swing forward independently".

When worn on the right forearm it establishes and helps maintain the Right Arm Flying Wedge from Startup through Follow Through. With the right wrist bent and held fairly rigidly in place by "The Key" it is difficult to cock and uncock your right wrist.

You can buy both the left and right arm versions and wear them both when practicing. It is also useful for practicing one armed chips. I was introduced to "The Key" by Cooper Osborne, GSEM.

Good Luck!
