I have a bone to pick with this post because what your actually saying with this idea of a constant degree of wristbend is impossible with anything other than shots preformed with angled hinging with no usage of the acc. no 2 or 3 (basic motion). I completely disagree with your interpretation of the right flying wedge.
I do realise that short shots is what is being addressed but have seen you say this before many times where this is not applicable.
The myth of constant degree of wristbend - Lets just take the swinging procedure for these examples ok - The right hand is turned towards the inclined plane. Now a constant degree of wristbend is impossible because the right arm is bending.
This picture I created a while back will help illustrate this...
The myth of the level right wrist. How the right flying wedge really works is that when the right hand turns towards the plane on the backstroke - what was wristbend becomes wristcock and the right forearm is aligned to making its motion directly opposed to the inclined plane with a direct relationship with the clubhead. If you turn the right hand and maintain a level right wrist - you have infact destroyed the right flying wedge... infact what your saying is actually a bit silly.
What your saying is that you think the forearm would point along this line...
You have still have alot to learn.....
When is the right forearm on plane? Is it on plane with all the plane angles?

I really don't get any of this--in relation to my understanding [or not] of TGM
Do you need to go to the office young man !!???!!!

Thank you.

P.S.- Bucket, the book you recommended just arrived from Amazon, along with a blues DVD that I ordered. Golf and blues: what a combination!
