In post 37/38 12PB and Daryl are arguing about Sergio's right wrist position in this photo.



Daryl states that it is upcocked and 12PB states that it is level.

I have a problem with the idea of stating that the right wrist is either upcocked or level when the right wrist is maximally dorsiflexed. When the right wrist is maximally dorsiflexed, then it cannot cock freely in any direction - therefore it may be meaningless to describe its degree of cocked-upness. I think that a wrist can only cock freely when it is in a neutral or palmar flexed positon, but not when it is maximally dorsiflexed.

"The Clubshaft is On Plane. I agree. But it's too far Up Plane because his Right Wrist is Cocked. His impact needs some really critical timing. He has the talent and dedication and is able to make it work. However, if he Leveled his Right Wrist, he could Horizonal hinge."

I understand the situation very differently. I think that the the clubshaft appears too far up-plane because his right wrist is maximally dorsiflexed. When the right wrist is maximally dorsiflexed, the right wrist will appear upcocked because there are no choices in the degree of wrist upcockedness when the wrist is maximally dorsiflexed. However, that doesn't mean that SG cannot horizontally hinge post-impact because his right wrist will not be maximally dorsiflexed at impact and there will no restraints (imposed by the right wrist) on his ability to turn his flat left wrist horizontally (like a door opening) during the followthrough phase of the swing.
