The Flying Wedge alignments are real and this (I believe) alignment is key to almost everything else in the Golfing Machine. I tried on different occasions to explain the Alignment in different ways. In one thread I used red dots on the wrists, in another I explained how to swing a bucket and keep its Top edge horizontal to the ground, and finally in another I designed and made "Hinge Sticks" which, if used would align the wedges at Right Angles. I'm giving up on the written word with drawings as the best medium to explain things. I think that some things need something more visual as with video or face to face communication.
Until then.....
I'm sorry I'm so slow. Thanks for your efforts. But I still don't understand why clapping the R Hand into the LH just like Yoda is doing with the rackets is wrong. It was this movement that made sense for me. The rackets (hands) head on seemed like a good explanation for right angles (90 degrees).
This is going to be clear one day - rest asure - but perhaps not so fast as one could wish. My brain is not very geometrical/technical in its understanding and is also in rapid decline. Sorry.

It's not you. I spent hundreds of years (seems like) trying to learn alignments and I attended 3 - 3 day seminars and like you, I had lessons, but, it still took a breakthrough. It wasn't easy.
One day, when you're old and gray, about a year younger than "O.B. Left" (I think he's like 85 years old), and about ten years older than me, then, when you least expect it, it'll go off like a light bulb in your head.
I've spent the last year trying to figure out how to present the information so that G.O.L.F'rs could learn quickly and easily. I wanted to give up many times and thought that maybe everyone needs to learn the hard way, but I think I've got it now and I'm proceeding with the video(s).
The flat level LW (and the LAFW) and the level bent RW (and the RFFW) together just like clapping the hands (but gripping the club)?
Lynn teaches this clapping hands thing in regard to the Arm Set (Right Forearm on plane , Left ARm above plane). I suppose its most consistent with a Vertical/ Vertical grip type. And since the Plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge is the Plane of the Left Wrist Cock (vertical hand motion) and the plane of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge is the Plane of the Right Wrist Bend (a Horizontal hand motion) the respective Wedge planes at 90 degrees to one another.
I don't know why D, said "no " so vehemently ... maybe it coincided with enema time at his nursing home or something? Not sure. All I know is I just had mine and Im gonna sneak back into line for another one..... there is like nothing on tv tonight.
Aren't you guys saying the same thing? YEEoooowwww.
The Ryder Cup, September, is only 30 minutes away. Maybe in August I'll start talking about a Golf Outing at that time if enough TGM'ers are in the area. Or at least a Dinner gathering.

Thanks for encouraging words. I'm already sort of old and grey.
Is it possible to do this correctly - Like Yoda is explaining - without seeing this right angle business? If the LAFW is there and the RFFW is there and I have a correct grip doing this and give the whole thing structure with extensor action - doesn't that give the result one wants? Sure hope so.
