"It is impossible to uncock the Right Wrist if it was never cocked -- only correctly Bent. "
Question? If at impact the left wrist is flat-level-vertical and the right wrist is bent-level-vertical, then as the club moves from impact into follow through doesn't the left wrist move to flat-uncocked-vertical and the right wrist to bent-uncocked-vertical.
Wouldn't the right wrist be uncocking if it moves from level to uncocked?

If the Right Wrist moved from Level to Uncocked, it would be Uncocking. But...it doesn't do this.
The Left Wrist moves to Uncocked after Impact, and this Full Extension of the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) results in a Zero #3 Accumulator (7-18 ) and an 'In Line' Left Arm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1). The Right Wrist, however, remains in its Bent and Level condition during this Extension. As a result, the On Plane Right ForeArm Flying Wedge remains unchanged and in its precision 90 degree relationship with the Left Arm Flying Wedge.
Topic:Hinge Action -- A Primer
If one starts from a Classic Address Position, with the left wrist bent, and the right wrist flat... when, ideally, should the right wrist become bent, and the left wrist flat? I suppose that Classic Address is best used with Swinging procedures.
Also, from what I have read... it seems that STARTING from a FIX position of the wrists is more desirable, even for SWINGING. HITTERS, obviously, would be better starting from FIX.
Hitting or Swinging, the Bent Left Wrist in Adjusted Address becomes Flat in Start Up via Extensor Action (6-B-1-D).
Both Hitters and Swingers may start from the Impact Fix Wrist Conditions (Flat Left and Bent Right). However, these Alignments favor the Hitter's Muscular 'Carry Back' Motion and Drive Loading with its ultimate Radial Clubshaft Push through Impact. Radial Clubshaft Push is always Right Arm Thrust.
The Classic Adjusted Address Alignments (Bent Left and Flat Right) favor the Swinger's Centrifugal 'Swing Back' Motion and Drag Loading with its ultimate Longitudinal Clubshaft Pull through Impact. Longitudinal Clubshaft Pull is usually Left Arm Swing. However, when the Right Elbow replaces the Left Shoulder as the Stroke Center, it may also be Right Arm Swing (7-19).
What I thought was "level" is actually slightly cocked.
I just assumed that the "#3 intact at impact" guys were 100% TGM technically sound, and wondered why I couldn't make it work.
Thanks Yoda.

You're welcome, MJ. As Homer said, "Precision is recognizing and reconciling minute differentiations." And you've just made a giant TGM leap!
Now let's 'tighten the tolerances' a bit more:
As we've discussed, the Level Wrist condition can be defined as Uncocked. That's because the Cocked Wrist moving to Level is moving away from a Cocked condition (4-B-3). However, the precison Impact and Address Wrist condition of Level is not considered to be Cocked. That term is reserved for the movement from Level to Cocked and excludes the movement from Uncocked to Level (4-B-2).
Therefore, while Level can be considered 'slightly Uncocked,' it should never be considered "slightly Cocked."
Hey man. I have the same problem. Took a lesson from a local AI. He told me
that my wrist was double cocked. Check the chapter in the book about wrists
positions. You MUST have a flat left wrist and a LEVEL BENT right wrist. No
cocking of the right wrist. Drills in the chapter with the hands open, then
with fingers closed, and then with the club horizontal. After that move to
the inclined plane. You'll get it.
It was amazing to me how "quiet" my hand action felt going through
the process. It will feel like you aren't using your hands/wrists at all and
your swing will be shorter. but you will really compress the ball once you
get the flat left and bent level right. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR RIGHT WRIST IS
LEVEL. I was told that when your wrists are level and arms out in front of
you, the fingers will be angled some what towards the ground. Be sure that
you don't cock the right wrist. This will get you across the line.
Make sure that your club is on plane half way back. the club should either
point to the plane line or be parallel to it. You are either on plane or off
plane. period.
This is what I was told. Worked for me. You just have to work at it until you
can trust it. I'm not there yet, but with the correct concept you can get
there.
Please note this not original thought here. Just what I was told at my
lesson.
Good luck dude.
You can rely on this information. It is pure TGM and came from one of the
best.
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.
This crucial alignment must first be understood. Only then can it be established at Fix and thus scientifically and reliably reproduced at Impact.
I want a little clarification on this topic. Yoda are you saying if I lay
my hand plam down on a table and roll it to the thumbs up position I have a
slight wrist cock. The reason I ask is the anatomical model shows the wrist
at netural in just that position, any movement from that position is either
flexion, extension, ulnar or radial deveation. I'm just slightly confused and
the fog ain't liftin yet.
Yes, from the anatomically 'neutral' position ('karate chop')you have
described, the Level Wrist Condition requires a bit of Ulnar Deviation
(a sideways movement of the hand toward the little finger).
However, starting from Level, a noticeable degree of Uncocking remains until
the Wrist is fully Uncocked. See text and Photo 4-B-3. With the Flat Left
Wrist Level at Impact, this assures that the Primary Lever Assembly (the Left
Arm and Club) will not achieve Full Extension until after
Impact.
