Left wrist cock causes more right wrist cupping
As a newbie to TGM, I am trying to come up to speed as quickly as possible with the nomenclature and fundamentals. Please bear with me....

The question I have is related to the extra "cupping" I get in the right wrist if/when I cock the left wrist in the back swing.

From the various TGM and LBG videos I've watched, I know:

1) The importance of maintaining the left and right arm flying wedges throughout the swing.
2) The Left Wrist can cock in the vertical plane (i.e. but it can't rotate or turn).
3) The right forearm needs to be on plane with the shaft and the right wrist needs to be at the same flying wedge angle as impact fix no later than the top of the backswing.
4) Lynn espouses that the angle of the right flying wedge should be maintained throughout the swing (or well into the finish).

When I cock the left wrist, however, the right wrist is bent back (i.e. "cupped" in Ben Hogan-speak) much further than the angle at impact fix (the right forearm is still on plane, however).

Because the grip of the right hand is such that the left thumb fits into the life-line of the right hand, it would seem that ANY cocking of the left hand would automatically change the angle of the right wrist as well.

To me it seems that if you want to take advantage of any wrist cocking (power accumulator # ??), you can't possibly maintain a constant right wrist angle.

Hopefully, I described my confusion in the proper terms...
