neil,r/forearm flying wedge,at what point would you remove wedge ,I thought that it starts to straighten pretty much as it starts down,so long as you made initial pivot move back to square ,this would ensure that you dont run out of r/arm through impact.thanks
Don't "remove " the wedges!
The right wrist stays bent ,left stays flat throughout the whole motion.
The bent right elbow does not straighten until follow through (the both arms straight position )-approx 45* to the ground shaft position.
If the right arm straightens at impact or before -you have run out of right arm-and lag pressure.
Don't think of the wedges as not being there just because the 90* angle isn't retained between the forearms-just think of the RFFW and LFFW oppsing one another -the bent right wrist is always at 90* to the plane of the left wristcock.

Big sorry neil,I wrongly referred to R/elbow as being a wedge(forgive my no-brainer),
What I meant to say was,as the R/shoulder drives R/elbow down into impact zone,at what point does the R/elbow start to straighten,or does it start to unbend as soon as the downstroke begins.I hope you follow me.Thanks again

If anything,it bends more on the initial part of the downstroke.
The right arm can only begin to straighten when the left arm is thrown off the chest.
It is thrown off by the right shoulder moving down the selected plane, correct?
I would say it is (the left arm),thrown off the chest by the pivot.
Please remember my first post in this thread, -I stressed that my comments are from a swingers perspective.
I am well aware that this is the Hitters domain ,but I responded because I detected a confusion of components-maybe wrongly.
However ,from a swinger -it is all PULL-therefore "chain reaction"
