How far past ball separation does your right wrist stay TOTALLY bent? |
The Flat Left Wrist and Bent Right Wrist Alignments are established in ImpactFix (7-8 ). The amount of 'Flat' in the Left Wrist is an absolute -- there is onlyone Flat! -- otherwise the Wrist is Bent or Arched. However, the amount ofRight Wrist Bend can vary. It is normally determined by (1) Ball Location --the further back the less Bend and the further forward the more Bend -- and by (2) the Right Elbow Location of the Major Basic Stroke employed (10-3).However, at the player's option, any desired degree of Bend (between minimumand maximum) can be arbitrarily selected. That precise degree of Bend is then 'frozen' and held throughout the Stroke (to the end of the Follow-through perthe discussion below).
In the classic Adjusted Address (8-3), the Fix Alignments are reversed -- theLeft Wrist is Bent and the Right Wrist is Flat -- to gain certain advantages(7-9). However, once the Stroke gets underway, the Flat Left Wrist and BentRight Wrist Alignments are re-established in Start Up (8-4) by the selectedLoading Action (10-22) and then maintained to the end of The Follow-Through(8-11), the Both Arms Straight Position.
This includes the Impact Interval (8-10), during which the Flat Left Wristexecutes the selected Hinge Action (7-10) by remaining Vertical to one of theThree Basic Planes. That is, either the Full Roll Feel of Horizontal Hinging;the No Roll Feel of Angled Hinging; or, the Reverse Roll Feel of VerticalHinging.
In Short Shots, where The Follow-Through is also your Finish (8-12), then youshould be able to "look, Look LOOK " and verify that yourImpact Fix Wrist Alignments have been maintained, i.e., the Left Wrist is stillFlat and the Right Wrist is still Bent. In Full Shots, after theFollow-Through, the Left Arm folds and the Left Wrist Swivels Palm Up againstthe face of the Inclined Plane and Bends. Similarly, the Right Arm remainsstraight, the Right Wrist Swivels Palm Down against the Plane and Flattens. Atthe Precision Destination of The Finish (2-N-0), the Fix Alignments of bothWrists are then restored.
All this is the Geometry of Wrist Alignments during the Stroke, includingImpact, Hinging and Swiveling.
