Any drills?
MitchD,

I'm not sure I'd call it a drill, but do you know what a bent/level right wrist should look and feel like? When I started to do a better job of it in my own swing it felt like I had a lot less wrist cock than I was used to. I think that's because I was allowing it to "bend" more than it should have and I believe I was adding a little cocking motion to it as well. In actuality I still had plenty of left-wrist cock, but now my hands weren't as "flimsy" as they used to be. So..... it may just be a "look, look, look" thing, but you first have to know what bent-and-level looks like and feels like. In general, I think it's difficult for right-handers to bend/un-bend their right elbow while keeping that right wrist bent-and-level. If you did any throwing sports growing up then you're used to letting your right hand bend and then flatten (or arch even) while your right elbow is bending and straightening.

I'd start with that. Personally I think once you can do that properly you won't have as much problem with applying a little extensor action down the road. I may have something on extensor action I can send you if I can locate it that might help.
