Q to the experts: Absolutely frozen right wrist?
 

Focusing on the magic of the right forarm flying wedge has helped me tremendously this year. It's certainly a key for hitting, since the right hand will be out of position for a hit with a sloppy right wrist. And it seems to work well with swinging as well. :D

Without knowing what it was, it's been a key for me in putting and chipping for several years - and that's certainly been the best parts of my game. :o

But I am wondering whether some posts on LBG might have exaggerated the stiffness of the flying wedge. The term "frozen" has been used - which should mean absolutely stiff from address to impact. :?:

In an uncompensated swing the right wrist will be fully uncocked at impact. I've tried to hold the club with an uncocked right wrist at the top. I am not sure if I can do it at all - and it certainly puts my right elbow in a very odd position. :?

However, a cocked left hand and neutral right hand works fine for me.

Am I on the right track here? I would appreciate comments on this extremely important subject from the experts.

Thanks,

The "frozen" right wrist refers to it's bent and level condition. You shouldn't be trying to keep it frozen in an uncocked condition, as it will only be level at impact.

I thought it had to be uncocked at impact in order to keep the right elbow on the clubshaft plane. How can it be level?

You can see in the picture in 9-2-10#2 that the Right Wrist is LEVEL and the right forearm is on plane. The Left Wrist becomes fully uncocked by the Follow Through 9-3-11 & 9-2-11#2 (Pictures).

Some True Swingers probably don't FEEL the Bent and Level Right Wrist as RIGID or FROZEN as Hitters, but it should still be in the B/L Condition.

Here's what I see regarding right wrist positions from the pictures:

9-2-1#2: Uncocked (preliminary address)
9-2-5#1: Level (backstroke
9-2-7: Seems to be partly cocked (start down)
9-2-8: Level (down stroke)
9-2-10#2: Uncocked (impact)

I've read 6-B-3-0-1, but I haven't figuered out how it is possible yet.
