Mathew,

I'm with you on the variable right wrist bend, no problem there as long as the ultimate goal is to arrive at impact with the intended degree of bend as established at impact fix. In fact, variability in bend is necessary for swingers starting from adjusted address.

In terms of the right wristcock, a swinger loads against the right forearm which may or may not be "on plane" at the end. (That is, directly opposed the the plane of the left wristcock motion through release). It's a structural alignment. The hitter loads the same way but, the right forearm is "on plane" against the loading and the right forearm flying wedge is aligned.

That said, a swinger can also load like a hitter and theres nothing wrong with it IMHO.

Look forward to your next video but work on being kinder and gentler to your fellow classmates.
