This has been in the Incubator too long (the spring-time planting that never harvests). Is it possible to get the club to an on Plane parallel to the Plane Line position at the End without destroying the integrity of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge?

Yes - but most people are not flexible enough to do so.

Yes - but most people are not flexible enough to do so.
Given the following:
1. Grips the club with a Strong Single Action, in the cup of the right hand with LEVEL right wrist.
2. Applies Extensor Action throughout.
3. Support the Plane with the palm of the Right Hand at the End.
I just don't see how it is possible. Again, this is not what I teach (going to parallel), just being inquisitive.
Here are some of the things we may want to consider.
Put your right hand in front of you in a Flat, Level and Vertical position, with your right forearm parallel to the ground. Have your fingers relaxed, so they are neither fully straight nor clenched in a fist. If you just let your wrist "hang" you should find it reaches the Level condition naturally.
Now simply Bend your right wrist, keeping everything else the same and remaining relaxed. Notice how, amazingly, your right wrist is no longer "Homer Kelly Level". Now is this acceptable in a full swing? Should we still call this 'Level' for practical purposes? Interesting questions, and certainly debatable, but my answer is yes to both.
Another point. Grab a club, set up as usual. The cup of your right hand should fit snugly into your left thumb and the grip of the club (if the grip was in the heel pad instead, it would not be possible to have the Clubshaft and Right Forearm in-line with a Level Right Wrist). Now take the club to the Top. Notice how the grip is no longer snug in the cup of your right hand in the same way as it was at Address. If it was the Clubshaft would be pointing way up towards the sky. Can this be a violation of 1-L-3 (there is no wobble in the Clubshaft attachment (Grip))? Is this acceptable for a human being? I’d say it is acceptable.

Bending my right wrist that way...it stays level. Am I deformed or you? In your case, you have to settle what right wrist positions you will deal with.

I can also Bend my Right Wrist back whilst keeping it Level! However, I need to apply the very slightest downward pressure so that it is Level, rather than a little Cocked. I've done this with quite a few people, and all of them Cock their Right Wrist slightly when they Bend it. The key part is to stay relaxed, so you are not trying to make it stay Level (or not Level).
