The Right Elbow And The Left Wristcock

So, to maintain the right forearm flying wedge, should I focus on not cocking the left wrist at all? Thoughts?
Hi Erik,

Thanks for the comments on the video. We're going to do a lot more of this kind of thing, so stay tuned!

Regarding your perceived inability to Cock your Left Wrist while maintaining the Bent Right, do the following drill:

[See, this would make a great video short!]

Grip the Golf Club, then separate your Hands about six to twelve inches. Open the Right Hand but leave the Clubshaft laying across the fingers of the Hand. Now, without changing the Frozen Bent and Level Right Wrist, Cock the Right Elbow up and watch as it Cocks the Left Wrist. Then, use your straightening Right Elbow -- again, there will be no change in the Bent and Level Right Wrist Condition -- to Uncock the Left Wrist.

And there you have it.

Precisely the same action occurs in a geometrically-correct Golf Stroke.
