Burner, rcandgolf may have been asking about your fist explanation.
quote:Without any further movement of the forearm or wrist just</u> ball your hand up into a fist - that is then a fully cocked left wrist. Reverting to the original orientation of your hand, before you made the fist, is uncocking.
I ran through your explanation and balled up my fist and did not get a cocked wrist. Look at the underlined part. If the wrist has no movement, then it can't cock.
Yup, I can see that I may have given a poor example here.
If the left forearm is laid on a flat surface with the "pinky" finger downward and the thumb up, open palm with the back of the hand facing left, then form a fist would, perhaps, have been better.

Thanks for your input. My original point was an attempt to explain the difference between a simple cocked, as opposed to level, wrist and the "added" cocking that some guys feel should be the case. Excessive up and down (perpendicular) movement, in other words.
The difference between level and uncocked, in the context of the original question, was ignored from my point as it is such a fine difference. My bad.
