Swingers Standard Wrist Action

[ukhacker]

When using standard wrist action, the left wrist turns and cocks. At what point in the backswing does the left wrist turn and is this a conscious act?

The Backstroke Turn Swivel is done in the Start Up. It is mirrored in Release by the Downstroke Roll Swivel. So, you have a Start Up Swivel and a Release Swivel. Finally, there is a Finish Swivel which occurs at the end of the Follow-Through and completes the Stroke.

If these Swivels are already a subconscious part of your Stroke Pattern, then note it and move on. If not, integrate them sequentially per 1-J and 3-B.

That's mean the turn will be done immediately when the right forearm takeaway?

Extensor Action during (and as) the Loading Action will Flatten the Left Wrist (6-B-1-D) -- which is normally Bent in the Swinger's Standard Adjusted Address (10-9-A) -- as the Right Forearm Takeaway and Fanning execute the Start Up. The Left Wrist will Swivel in conjunction with this Motion.

Another interesting thing on this subject is that if you OVER rotate your left arm early you HAVE to bend your left wrist or else lay it off.
