I haven't been thinking about the frozen right wrist for a while, but I have found something that is very solid back and through, while working mainly with the pivot. But it is hardly a coincidence that the right wrist is level bent at the top and remains so throughout the down stroke.

You can match the left wrist cocking and uncocking with the right elbow bending and straightening. When you get it, there is no limit as to how much left wrist cock you can apply. But you need a setup and a rhythm that makes the left wrist cock blend in with a frozen right wrist / bending and straightening of the right elbow.

In order to make it work you also need to move the whole primary lever (left arm plus club) as one single unit . No independant & flippy club motion. But that is also a BIG reason for doing it. You also need a fundamentally sound posture with sufficient forward tilting of your spine / sufficient steep down swing shoulder turn, amongst other things. .

When you make it work, the right hand and arm becomes a very powerful companion to the left side and you're set for a super solid impact. If you like to hit, you can hit it hard and if you prefer to swing you've set yourself up to brace your impact alignment with a rock solid extensior action.

Any cocking and uncocking of the right wrist may disrupt the rhythmic relationship between the left arm and the club, and may induce a flip or at least a discontinuity in the lag pressure - at least to the extent that you actually use the right hand in the down stroke. If you're a swinger with little or no extensior action the frozen right wrist is less important.
