Believe it!

You can definitely do it. Just about anybody can assuming they don't have any physical impairments.

The right elbow bend cocks the left wrist. Right wrist stays in its bent/level uncocked position. The left wrist simply loads in the last three fingers and you will have a conventional, shaft parallel to the ground top of swing if you are young and flexible (and if you aren't, no worries). The job of the right hand is to feel pressure point *3 load and sustain it.

Years ago I had to purchase a right wrist brace to believe it.
