To have the Right Forearm Flying Wedge in its proper alignment (shaft in line with the right forearm) the Right Wrist is required to be LEVEL. With an open hand, the fingers will point DOWNWARD at an angle if the wrist is LEVEL . . . it looks as you said "slightly in an uncocked positon."
Are you sure?If the right wrist is level there will be an angle between the right forearm and shaft.To get them inline you need to have the right wrist uncocked.We don't hold the club with an open hand.
Yes sir. If you have the book check out the picture 4-B-1. It shows the LEVEL Right Wrist with closed hand. If the hand is open the fingers will point downward at an angle. It looks uncocked but it's not.
Gotcha you don't grip the club with an open hand. But for the Right Forearm Flying Wedge to be aligned properly the Right Hand grip is taken with the grip in the cup of the right hand not the fingers.
Obviously there are a lot of people who grip the club in the fingers which is cool. But the grip advised in TGM per 10-2-0 is
Usually, the only real difference between Right and Left Hand Grip is that the Clubhshaft lies under the heel of the Left Hand but it (or the left thumb) lies in the cup of the Right Hand.
If you grip it in the cup of your Right Hand with your Right Wrist LEVEL, then it is easy to have the Right Forearm and clubshaft in the same plane. Per 2-F,
Picture the javelin thrower with the right elbow and On Plane right forearm leading the hand toward the target (Delivery Line) all during Delivery. See 6-B-1. So the javelin chucker has his Right Forearm verticle to the ground and the palm facing the sky. And the javelin and forearm are in the same plane.
Not many pro's set up with the Right Forearm and shaft in the same plane. But they get there at impact.
