EC and I were talking last week about wrist motions and the uncocking and cocking of the left wrist. He brought up something very interesting to me. Look at these people hammering crap. Look at the condition of their left wrist . . . what do you observe? Now look at Freddie and Hogan. What are you seeing? Are there similarities? Are you seeing double wrist action? Are you seeing a natural motion?

It's a pity playing golf as well as Hogan or Couples is not as easy as hammering crap.

Paying my way through college, I worked as a Framer. We didn't use nail guns and when laying pressure treated 2x8 T&G subfloors we used the heaviest Vaughan hammer we could handle. Usually a 27oz.
Over time I found I could drive 16 penny nails pretty well by setting it with one tap and then driving it home with a single blow.
I distinctly remember the feel as not "uncocking" before impact.

Answer the questions Cowgirl. Hammer to the top loaded and ready to strike a nail (or in your case fanger) . . . describe the conditions of your wrist based on Chapter 4 (cocked, uncocked, level, bent, arched, flat, turned, rolled, vertical) . . . . The questions!!!! Focus!!!
