Try splitting your hands on the grip. Keep the Right Wrist Level and bend your Right Elbow. Your Left Wrist will Cock and your Right Wrist will remain Level if you allow it to.

The Right Elbow Cocks the Left Wrist. Now just slide your hands closer together and do the same.

This is a KEY G.O.L.F. alignment that is the Right Forearm Flying Wedge and its LEVEL Right Wrist that DOES NOT COCK.

I do not see how it is physcially possible to have both hands on the grip, cock your left wrist, and not have an up and down movement in your right wrist as well.

I am holding both hands out in front of me in a simulated grip on a golf club. I am cocking my left wrist up and down. Because the hands are connected, the right wrist must also move up and down.

I would like to see a video that shows this concept to me. I do not believe it is physically possible to do what you are saying. Ig the left wrist moves up and down... it seems the right wrist must follow.

It's a tough one (to understand...not to execute)....but it IS very possible....not to mention efficient.

....

I think the problem might be that you are simply cocking your left wrist and observing your right wrist.

Guys are asking you to bend your right elbow, thereby cocking your left wrist without cocking your right wrist.

Fog clearing,
 

Thanks, the fog is clearing but still a bit of haze. Why the reference to wedges-if a wedge is a static shape but the machine wedges are dynamic? It the intent to maintain one or both wedges?

Watch Chapter #3 The Hands from the Tom Tomasello video series found in The Gallery. You'll find the answer there.

Flying Wedges -- Static or Dynamic?
 

It's not the size of the Wedges that matter. For example, by changing the amount of Left Wrist Cock I can change the size of my Left Arm Flying Wedge. Or by adjusting my Right Wrist Bend, I change the size of my Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
The important thing is that the plane of the Flying Wedges remained undisturbed. Otherwise, you get some bent-looking Wedges. For example, if I Bend (4-A-2) my Left Wrist, that will deform my Left Arm Flying Wedge, so it's bad.
The Cocking motion of my Left Wrist is on a vertical plane, but the Bending motion is on a horizontal plane.
The Right Forearm Flying Wedge is on a horizontal plane. So if I make any Vertical motion (Cocking or Uncocking) with my Right Wrist, this will conflict with the plane of my Fight Forearm Flying Wedge.
As you can see, the planes of the two wedges are perpendicular or 90 degrees to each other. And as long as the Left Wrist remain flat, and the Right Wrist remain Level (4-B-1), the Wedges will still have this all-important 90 degree relationship with each other. This is true even if you Cock or Uncock your Left Wrist (keeping the Right Wrist Level, obviously) since this only changes the size of Wedge, but the vertical plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge remains exactly the same.

Edit: I did a new thread here, and you may find the photos helpful. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...4104#post24104

Definitely dynamic,,,
 

That answers the questions I had. The wedges are dynamic in their respective planes. Your pictures in the new thread are great, I have a question re: pic 2 that I'll post there.

Flying Wedges
 

Should one attempt to maintain the flying wedges (particularly the right arm wedge) as long as possible on the downswing??

The wedges travel as a 'unit' during their motion, and yes, you should keep your wedges in place through both arms straight at least. The 'unit' rotates around PP#1, the 'tip of the triangle'.

Leo - I love the first pic - excellent alignments and a great perpective.
