Can anybody help me out. I'm a bit confused wouldn't fully uncocking the left wrist destroy the right forearm wedge?
Also on a related point is it the right forearm that uncocks the left wrist into impact or is that solely the left wrist job?
Cheers Danny.
If you get your left wrist to fully uncocked and your right forearm wedge breaks down then I think that might be due to incorrect flying wedges. Check your power package alignment and function. Check your bent right wrist to make sure it is frozen.
3-F-6. EXECUTION
"A flimsy Power Package structure indicates lack of Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) and/or neglect of the Flying Wedges (6-B-3-0-1). Or faulty Translation; Or it may be that you are attempting to incorporate incompatible Components as discussed in Chapters 1-K and 13."
As for uncocking the left wrist, you have options. You can use gravity, centripetal force, the straightening of the right arm, or the muscles of both forearms.

I keep thinking about your question from before: wouldn't fully uncocking the left wrist destroy the right forearm wedge?
I started to think rhythm might be a good way to help this so I looked it up in the index and this was the first reference:
2-G. HINGE MOTION
"The point to be learned here is that the Club, because of the Flat Left Wrist, must always travel at the same RPM as the Arms and reproduce the Hinging intended for the selected Lag Loading procedure (10-19) pre 4-D, 9-2, and 9-3, regardless of Clubhead Extension velocity.

KnighT, this is kind of my point. If the action is controlled by the left wrist if the left wrist goes to fully uncocked then wouldn't this uncock the right wrist as well and destroy the alignment of the clubshaft and the right forearm? it doesn;t seem ideal to me that you have to rely on holding the right wrist frozen to inhibit the left wrists dynamic motion.

I can't say for sure, because I do not yet fully comprehend the flying wedges and the left wrist. We talk alot about the magic of the right forearm here and it is quoted very often. I think it applies here:
7-3. STROKES - BASIC
"Furthermore, in compliance with 6-B-3-0-1, Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening, or Cocking the Right Wrist."
If you understand that and have the 3 imperatives you will swing like Brian Gay. Well, maybe not that good. But I bet it can produce a very precise swing.
EdZ has said to use a split grip and I like the feel of that. Give it a try.

I believe if executed correctly, the wedges and bent right wrist are in tact at impact. Full uncocking doesn't happen until after impact at both arms straight.
The Left Wrist Uncocks only to the Level position (where you still have #3 Accumulator) during Release. If you reach fully Uncocked before Impact, watch out for that Horizontal Left Wrist Bend, because that is what is going to happen at Impact. I see it over and over again; Over-Loading, Over Accelerating, Steering .
Differentiating between Uncock and Roll (study 2-P, 4-D-O, re-read them now) goes back to Educating the Hands thru the Pressure Points and practicing the Drill Mr. Kelley put at the end of 4-D-0; both done on the same Delivery Line, driving the ball into the ground, not toward the green. Do it first without a club, then with dowels, then with a club, with eyes open (look, look, look,) then with eyes shut. Over, and Over, and Over; Alignments, Pressure Points, Rhythm, Pace, Acceleration. Let the Mechanics produce the action, the Feel reproduce.
BTW, the Right Wrist is never Cocked and never Thrown.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
so i might put the question to him as well.
