Lets try and see if I am on the right track. As far as I can comprehend the angle of the club shaft at address effectivly sets the plane angle? If that is so does that mean when setting up for the on plane right forearm it effectivly extends from the shaft in a line along the right forearm, slightly bent at the elbow. From there as I take the club back the right forearm should follow the plane line up and back to the top with a still bent right wrist? If that is correct then on the downswing and through, the motion is the same maintaining the bent right wrist to the top. If that is so and it seems that it can be done (in the backyard without a ball at least) then is there any release at all from the right wrist. Or is this the difference between swinging and hitting or am I describing a slap at the ball.? See I told you I was confused!!! I think I need more pictures. (I do have "the book"). The ones supplied earlier in this post of the dowel, forearm and table told more than words could describe. something on the later move and the bending elbow may clear things up. vince Vince, Ideally, the player establishes a Turned Shoulder Plane (10-6-B) at Impact Fix and positions the Right Forearm and Clubshaft on this Plane. Study this Right Forearm alignment in the pictures 9-2-2 #2 and 9-2-10 #2. Regarding the Right Wrist 'Release'...it has none. The Wrist Release is an Uncocking of the Left Wrist (2-P). Even though it is executed on an Inclined Plane, the Wristcock remains a Vertical motion (4-B-0/1/2/3) and it defines the plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1). Any Flattening of the Right Wrist is a Horizontal Motion (4-A-0/1/2/3) that destroys the alignments of both the Right Arm and Left Arm Flying Wedges. The pictures below should help clarify things.
