This Chicken has Wings!
Not a challenge for Yoda at all, but a challenge for Bagger which I'm about to overcome. The egg hatched on this subject recently and now it's just a matter of execution.

To avoid the Number One malfunction which is Steering, you must follow the prescription in 3-F-7-A.

Once you have removed steering from your swing, the finish swivel is just a natural recocking of the flat left wrist back up the plane. The roll is a natural result of your hinge action rhythm.

But, none of this is possible unless your right forearm and #3 pressure point are tracing the plane line past impact and into the follow-through. Steering will cause a bent left wrist and throwaway. In my case, the right forearm moves back inside the plane by a few inches (traces inside and left of the plane line) right after impact. The finish swivel becomes distorted. I have a slight chickenwing left arm and an artifical hard roll of the hands to keep the momentum going into the finish.

As soon as I'm cured, I'll post the before and after. Shouldn't take long now that the Chick has hatched.
