To understand how the bending Right Elbow causes (Hitting) or permits (Swinging) the Left Wrist to Cock, do the following exercise:
1. Grip a Golf Club in your Left Hand only.
2. Turn the Left Wrist to the right and lay the Club across your thighs.
3. Reach down with the Right Hand and, with the Hand open, grip the Club lightly in the fingers. The palm of the Hand will be open and above the Clubshaft. Your Right Wrist will be Bent.
4. Now, leaving your Left Hand stationary, simply Cock the Club upwards with Right Elbow Action.
That's the way it works.
For Hitters, this Actioncauses the Left Wrist to Cock.
For Swingers, this Motion permits the Left Wrist to Cock (via Centrifugal Force).
Yoda,
I find this discovery(for me) fascinating. Does this elbow action then assist in the accumulator action as described in 10-4-C-1, or just 10-4-B-1?
I figured out why I found this so hard to realize, and the reason is pretty embarrassing. I made the hackers mistake of thinking that a firm grip meant firm *wrists*. Can't wait to practice to ingrain the new feeling!

One of the ways that I use to show it is this:
Hold your arms out straight in front of you and point your thumbs straight away from you with closed fingers. Bend your right elbow with no change in the wrist, and your right thumb points skyward. In order to match the left thumb to the skyward direction of the right, cock the left wrist.
Right elbow bend equates to left wrist cock. 7-3 is one of my personal favorites.
