You are right Mathew, but why do you think this is so?
Hint: it's all in the fingers.
I tend to agree with Mathew here. What are you suggesting with you're hint?, that the dowell in this case changes its position from the right hand's cup to more perpendicular to the middle fingers? Under close observation of pic #1 the right forearm appears arched vs. level in pic #2, I would like to see these angles from your couch side.
Never mind, I just watched TT hands video, he suggests that the left forearm rotation allows this to happen tho I don't see that in the pic #2. Is this what you are feeling?
I like how picture one captures the right forearm on plane with the dowell, I could visualize you simply bending over and being at impact position. Could I get some drills to use with the dowells?

In 1-L Homer stated his concept, the machine concept. The left wrist is merely a hinge pin allowing wristcock but no wristbend.
A hinge pin by definition is a pivot point which allows a circular movement in a particular plane of motion - this being the plane of the left flying wedge. When the left wrist cocks the entire forearm also rotates that pivot point in a circular manner. The entire left wrist is a hinge pin that the right forearm rotates around!
If you want a simple statement to understand the wedges - the left wrist cock, the right forearm and the club all 'cock' upwards as one unit 'together' 'at the same rate' against the plane of the flat left wrist motion....without cocking the right wrist....
I hope this may help.
Ps... when you maintain the wedges, the feel is like your holding a sheild on your left forearm and you have suction cups on your right hand stuck to that sheild and your ready to soooooochh it back by tracing along the plane line.....lol...keep the bend and levelness of the wrist so the forearm rotates around that hinge pin(left wrist)as an angled extension as you do.... man im tired but its bit abstract but true and funny so ill leave it
