This is how I do it. I am sure there are many other ways with their own idiosyncrasies- and I hope others may share them!

Set your right forearm in line with the shaft on the horizontal plane.

Bring it down on the inclined plane so you are in position to strike the ball. Once you have ingrained the sensation of the whole of your right forearm and shaft on plane, you may skip horizontal plane part, and assemble it on the Inclined Plane.

Then Bend your right wrist (4-A-2). This is a Horizontal movement, not a Vertical/Perpendicular movement like Cocking/Uncocking (4-B-2/3). Right wrist should remain Level (4-B-1). Bending the right wrist only will keep your flying wedges intact. Your hand should cover your left toe visually (7-8 ).

Now put your left hand on the grip, and re-grip with your right.

You want a Strong Single Action Grip (10-2-B).

Suggestion: practice doing the above on a flat horizontal surface such as kitchen table top- so you set wedges and take your grip on the actual table. Then keeping everything constant, move the whole unit onto the inclined plane. Yes, it sounds tedious, but that’s how one obtains the precision alignments of TGM.
