First off, Lynn that's a great video of the flying wedges...

I have a question about the cocking if the left writst. When I grip the club with 2 hands, if I cock the left wrist, my right wrist goes with it in the same direction. I don't see how the left wrist can cock and uncock and not have the right wrist follow suit.

So, to maintain the right forearm flying wedge, should I focus on not cocking the left wrist at all? A few months back when I had a lesson with Ted Fort, he said, for me, it needs to feel like I am lifting that club up there with little or no action of the wrists.

Thoughts?

You asked the same question I asked myself when 8 months ago when I began the quest.

The answer lies in the last paragraph of 7-3 on page 93. Now, if you were like me, after reading that paragraph you'll be thinking 'huh?'

Lets reiterate:
From Start Up to Follow Through (both arms straight), the Left Wrist is always Flat and the Right Wrist is Always Level (not Cocked). If you do that, then your Flying Wedges Assembly will be maintained.


Now how do you Cock your Left Wrist while keeping your Right Wrist Level?
You do that my moving your Right Forearm up and down while keeping your Right Wrist Level.

Practice this without a club first. This is a must. So do the following.
Get your Right Forearm in front of you parallel to the ground and your Elbow at your side.
Have your wrist Level (look at 4-B-1) so that the wrist bone and the edge of the hand form a straight line.
If your fingers are extended, they should be pointing down, not straight ahead. That's Level.
Now freezing your Right Wrist, move your forearm straight up and down by bending your Elbow.

Now do the above without a club, but with your left hand also. So pretend you're gripping club and repeat the above. Your Left Wrist should Cock and Uncock as you move your Forearm up and down while your Right Wrist remains Level! That's basically what 7-3 -- The Magic of the Right Forearm -- is about.

Now do it with a Club while monitoring your Right Wrist all the way. Feel that it's Frozen in its Level condition.

Hope this helps.
