" The Wrist is not Level when the Hand is in the 'Karate Chop' position
and the middle finger runs up the Forearm. It is Cocked. Not Cocked to the
Maximum, but Cocked nonetheless. See text and Photo 4-B-2. The Wrist is Level
when the wrist bone and the edge of the hand (to the knuckle of the first
finger) form a straight line. That puts the fingers in a slightly downward
pointing mode, not up the Forearm. See text and Photo 4-B-1.

This post is not meant to nitpick. It is meant to clarify one of the most
important and misunderstood alignments in The Golfing Machine. Hands
positioned with the Wrists Level are noticeably higher than those
positioned in the Cocked ('Karate Chop') Condition. The Level alignment has a
profound influence on the Stroke, particularly the Plane (both its
Angle and Shift Variations); Release Trigger Delay; and the #3
Accumulator Roll through Impact. Bold added by Okie!

This crucial alignment must first be understood. Only then can it be established
at Fix and thus scientifically and reliably reproduced at Impact." - YODA


I could give my convoluted version or just simply quote the best!
