Jeff,

First, Bradley has some interesting things in his book. This puck release business might be how a hockey player flicks the puck over the goalie's shoulder, but I don't think it's how he would whistle one from the blue line. I nearly bought the book until I read about his release motion.

Second, the left forearm flying wedge (search if you need to) should remain intact throughout the motion. One thing that can get very confusing is that the look of maintaing the wedge, ie, left wrist cock in the plane of the left arm (see rhythym) varies greatly with grip type. The easiest way to understand it (and probably to do it) is with a 10-2-B grip, but the wedge can be maintained with a variety of grips. To further the confusion, you may see varying rates of re-cocking from very fast to none at all. And different amounts of #3 accum based on how diagonal one fits his level wrist to the grip. Oh, and plane shifts, etc.

The only way I can see that you can unbend the right wrist fully without bending the left wrist is to have the right wrist bend in the plane of the left wrist cock. Or like VJ, Couples, and sometimes Philly Mic, you could let the right hand detach from the club though impact. You will need Talent with a capital T for that move.

I strongly recommend watching the Yoda videos on the hammering motion (velocity power) of the left wrist. It is pretty simple in that context. Then, examine how that motion can be made with a variety of grip types (not recommending not using 10-2-B) and how the look changes but the motion of the club does not.

Good luck.
