A machine adjustment that is maintained throughout the swing by the Hitter except for a brief period during the Finish Swivel. This "frozen right wrist" is the hitters main tool. Mr Kelley wants us to be able to get to both arms straight with a variety of degrees of right wrist bend and with various hinge actions. This is key when training in Basic and Acquired. You can hit a higher shot with vertical hinging as opposed to angled all things the same, but by moving it up in the stance vis a vis low point, you will increase the loft even more. But with throwaway harder to manage. The Angle of Approach changes as the impact point approaches low point. The degree of right wrist bend decreasing as the ball moves up, etc. Machine adjustments. The shot makers tools of the trade.
This is a very powerful post. It has been written with a deep understanding of the Golf Stroke and its underlying mission-critical alignments.

Thanks, O.B.!
