This is a difficult pill to swallow because it means a lot more studying and learning.

But, if you're a Swinger, then the Extensor Action Take-Away and Right Forearm Fanning with a stationary Right Elbow will automatically provide the exact amount of Right Wrist Bend based on your Selected Plane Angle at Address. Since longer Clubs have less forward lean at impact than shorter clubs, and longer clubs have shallower swing Planes than Shorter clubs, Longer Clubs will have less Right Wrist Bend than Shorter Clubs. The Address position for a swinger is the same for all clubs. The Hands are centered which causes the Left Wrist to be bent and the right wrist to be flat.

If you decide to cross over to the Dark Side (Become a Hitter ), then the precise amount of Right Wrist bend will be determined by ball location and will remained fixed at that degree of Bend throughout the Swing. Ball more forward, less bend, farther Back in your Stance then more right wrist Bend. It's not a lot, but it will vary enough to make a difference in Ball Striking.
