Right wrist bend can be "fixed" but elbow bend can not. As a drill let your left arm hang below your shoulder then use your right hand to grab your left wrist. You will notice that your right wrist is bent. Now use your right arm to lift and lower your left arm "back, up, and in" across your chest. You will notice that your right wrist is fixed but your elbow will bend to top then straighten to follow through. This is the "magic of the right forearm".
Freezing the elbow is not advised for full motion shots.
I agree with the above drill as the "Proper" Start-up procedure and along with Extensor Action it controls the exact amount of Right Elbow Bend needed throughout the Backstroke AND the precise amount of Right Shoulder travel and direction. This is not a shoulder turn takeaway. This drill is uniquely TGM. This describes the Right Forearm Takeaway. It's taught to so many, yet so few adopt the method during actual play. But why Unbend the Right Elbow during the Downstroke?
Extensor Action controls the Right Elbow Path and it's subsequent location at Release. It ensures that the selected Elbow Alignment at the Top of the Swing is maintained during the Downstroke for Release and that both the #3 Pressure Point and Clubhead simultaneously trace the Plane Line during the Downstroke.
For a Swinger, the Uncocking Left Wrist straightens the Right Elbow. For a Hitter, Right Triceps Thrust will Uncock the Left Wrist as the Right Elbow Straightens.
If we Straighten the Right Elbow during the Downstroke, how are we ever to have the Right Shoulder Travel the same Speed as the Power Package?
Quote:
7-1 GRIPS – BASIC Basic Grip is the term indicating the mere act of holding on to the Club and relates primarily to the proximity of the Hands. They simply are either close enough to overlap or they are not close enough to overlap. So all non-overlapping Grips are Baseball Grips.
The Grips of Hitters and Swingers must differ in tightness. But still per 1-L-3, 6-B-3-0-1, 7-3 and 10-6-B. For the Swinger, Centrifugal Force Uncocks BOTH the Left Wrist and the Right Elbow per 7-19 and 7-20. So both must remain “Passive” but never “Whippy.” For the Hitter, the Right Triceps become “Active” and execute both Uncocking motions with a firmness that approaches the mandatory rigidity of the Right Wrist. With both procedures, the Flying Wedges’ alignments, as always, never waver. Grip types other than the Strong Single Action (10-2-B) either destroy the Wedges or produce inferior deviations. Also study 3-F-6. The prestressed (bent) Clubshaft (10-19-A) and maximum Swing Radius (10-19-C) are resistances to Impact Decelerations that each must establish before – not during – Impact (2-M-1).
So, for a Hitter, the decision as to "When" or "Where" the Right Elbow Uncocks, is made by the Golfer per Stroke Pattern.
