Forgive me if I'm asking something that TGM answers on page 1 but I have yet to receive the book.

If the lead arm (lead/trail vs right/left-cuz I'm a left swinger) employs a flat wrist at address what orientation does the elbow have i.e. does the pit (where one would draw blood) face the ball or more away from the target? Is it possible to rotate this part of the arm while maiantaining the flat wrist?

I'm struggling with this, when I turn the pit more away from the target I seem to keep the arm straighter through the swing but it doesn't feel quite right yet.

Appreciate your feedback,

Take your left hand grip, then right hand(lead/trail) at IMPACT POSITION. Now, just let your arms relax a little, and go to a CLASSIC ADDRESS POSITION(hands fairly centered). Notice where your elbows are pointing, with NO TWISTING of the arms at all.

The left arm(lead) should be hanging down like an INERT ROPE. It is stretched straight, ONLY through what TGM calls, EXTENSOR ACTION. Here, the RIGHT(trail) arm stretches the the INERT left arm(lead) rope.

There is plenty of information on the site on EXTENSOR ACTION.
