Both the left and right arm flying wedges represent the relationsip between the forearm and grip (a wedge shape or angle), but that angle or wedge refers to different parts of the forearm for each wedge. Grab a club with your normal left hand grip only. COCK the club up and down and notice the angle between the forearm and shaft. This is the left arm flying wedge.
Next, grab the club with only the right hand grip as Yoda demonstrates in the video (i.e. right forearm aligned with the clubshaft with the shaft in the palm of the right hand). Now BEND the right wrist back and forth and notice the angle between the club and the "underbelly" of the right forearm. This is the right forearm flying wedge.
Left wrist cocks but doesn't bend. Right wrist bends, but doesn't cock.
As a side note, I recently took another lesson from Yoda and I completely confused what cocking the left wrist on the followthrough looks (and feels) like. So much winter focus on chips and pitches gave me a solid flat left wrist through impact that refused to swivel on the followthrough. It took me a while to figure it out and begin to execute it, but reviewing the relationship of the flying wedges throughout the swing after the lesson really make things gel.

I am confused about the following:
When the left wrist cocks (moves up & down), how is it physically possible for the right wrist not to move up and down as well?
I just tried this. I placed both hands on a grip and cocked my lift wrist up and down. The right wrist also has to cock. I don't understand how the right wrist can't cock when the left is cocking.
