Eddie Cox Flying Wedge Device

[12 piece bucket]

Check this out..... no cocking of the right wrist...elbow plane ...right forearm working at right angles to the torso...this works great with the Angle of Approach Hitting Pattern discussed in that Eldrick thread....

Very nice. That's gotta be the best device I've ever seen for Right Forearm Wedge and Angle of Approach Training. I'm going to make one for myself. Almost perfect. The Right Hand should be rotated Clockwise about 5 degrees more but leave the Hinged Flat Sticks exactly where they are and re-grip.

Exactly right Daryl. I told Bucket that I need to figure out a hinge between the yardsticks that permits a degree of swivel without cocking. Better yet, a method of attaching dowels end to end that permit the same range of motion. But the ultimate would be to create the same conditions with a training club whereby you could actually hit shots!

That's putting it mildly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's a great guy and will be an equally great student once he loses his "rabbit ears"!

I'm sure you're learning a ton with Rick. He has been on the right track for a long time!

Very interesting - lets carry this tool further.
How about:
The angle is set to the angle at impact and there is no hinge until AFTER impact?
all movement is accomplished by the hinging of the right elbow and the ball join in the right shoulder.
a left wedge hinge is attatched at 90 deg. and there a hinge allows cocking and uncocking of the left wrist?
Again the left wedge is rotated on the ball joint of the left shoulder.
The wedges are maintained and the chapter 4 wrist RULES are maintained.
This places great responsibility on the shoulders for maintaining/ALLOWING the proper alignments of the wedges and the desired hinging. BUT, isn't that what the machine is all about?

It's basically two rulers with a hinge sticking 'em together...so you can set fix however you want it....basically it just makes you keep everything working in the plane of the right forearm (no cocking or rolling to disrupt the rffw alignment) and the ruler has linkage to the torso ala 3rd edition elbow plane description...
