How do you keep the wedges at 90 degree alignment?

This is the difference between a good ball striker and a poor ball striker. Wedges at 90 degrees. The Bucket drill teaches 90 degree Wedges. It's easier than the drawing below. Put a Red Dot on the inside of your Right Wrist. Put another Dot on the Outside of your Left Wrist. The Dot on the Left Wrist will Face he Target at Impact. The Dot on the Right Wrist will Face upwards at Impact. If you rotate the Right Wrist to the Left, so that it faces the Target just like the Left Wrist Dot, then your Wedges are Aligned at "0" degrees.
The Swing Plane is a Angled Plane. The Angled Plane is at Right Angles (90 degrees) to the Vertical Plane. The Primary Lever is Aligned to the Vertical Plane (Left Arm, Wrist, Clubface) at Impact. The Right Forearm is aligned to the Swing Plane at Impact and Separation (best if always aligned to the Swing Plane).

Dot on R wrist facing up at IMPACT? Is that a feel thing coming into Release until Impact, or reality? Seems impossible in reality.

Very much a reality. Look at any Pro at Impact. The right wrist is always up and not rolled like the left wrist.

Ok. I see the inside R wrist pointing to target in that picture Daryl. Maybe the dot should be on inside of R forearm near the elbow?
At Release or R forearm in front of R hip/thigh, yeah I believe the inside R wrist should be pointing up the sky. Your holding a bucket image is excellent feel.

Stay with it. The so called expert in the Pic above doesn't have his wedges at 90 degrees. Use the bucket drill.

Yeah, using it for some time now. I use a grip where both hands/palms are square to the sweetspot. In order to square and throw out the clubhead from "holding the bucket" at Release, I have to square my R hand/wrist. I do this actively; otherwise it's all pushes especially with longer clubs.
