hello again,
been playing around with my body parts today (that didnt come out sounding at all right did it ! )........
specifically...my left wrist..what it can..and cant do...try this yourselves...
hold your left forearm up...so its in front of you, parallel to the ground...and parallel to the "target line" ( ie fingers pointing directly to your right), and turn your forearm around its own axis so that the palm is facing directly towards you and of course the back of the hand is facing directly away from you.....fingers are horizontal but vertically stacked on top of each other, ie:- forefinger on top, second finger directly underneath and so on...little finger at the bottom....
now..... introduce a small amount of cupping into the back of the left wrist...
now place the tip of your right forefinger....on the first knuckle of your left-hand-index-finger (the one closest to your thumb).....and while keeping your left forearm horizontal to the ground press down with that right forefinger to essentially un-cock the left wrist...what happens????
if your like me, what happens is.......yes of course the left wrist un-cocks....but also notice that the cupping INCREASES !....now lets try it but with a bowed left wrist....
set up as before.....but introduce a small amount of "bow" into the left wrist....press down with the right forefinger and what happens?????
if youre like me....the left wrist un-cocks BUT....the BOW INCREASES if anything.
One last time....set up as before.......but this time....leave the left wrist in a "Flat" position...neither cupped nor bowed....
press down again with the right forefinger....and youll immediately be aware....of a sort of "knife-edge" effect....where what happened can go either way....you might slip to the "cupped" side...and the cupping will increase....or...you might be lucky and slip to the "BOWED" side...and the BOW will increase.
Q.E.D as far as i can see is....
as your coming down..into "delivery" position and about to un-cock the left wrist....... if that wrist is even SLIGHTLY cupped...then uncocking it will only make that cupping even worse ( AKA....a complete flip/ break-down/ flick).....if your coming down to "delivery" with a flat wrist....well....its 50-50 which way it will go...you might be lucky and 'slip' to the BOW side of the 'knife-edge'....or you might be unlucky and slip over to the CUPPED side.
if you come down into delivery with a slightly bowed wrist.....then when un-cocking occurs....it will at least maintain that bowed wrist...or perhaps even increase it slightly.
