... the Right Forearm Pickup should be accompanied by a turn of the left wrist. There is also a slight FANNING motion of the right forearm as it is moving up THE TURNED SHOULDER PLANE.
Lagster is correct here, and he makes a
huge point.
With
Swinging, the Left Wrist Turn-On-Plane can be almost
immediate (Standard Action per 10-18-A). With
Hitting, it is the product of the Body Turn and the Arm Swing and is more
gradual (Single Action per 10-18-C-20). In both cases, the Left Wrist reaches the Top in an identical alignment, i.e., Turned On Plane. As Lagster also points out, the Right Forearm Fans as necessary in both Variations, enabling the Right Wrist Turn (On Plane) to complement the Left Wrist Turn (On Plane). Thus, the Flying Wedges Assembly (6-B-3-0-1) is maintained and with it, the 90 degree relationship of its individual components.
