Yoda,
At the top...shouldn't the right wrist be in a 5-B-2 (BLT) condition instead of 5-C-2 (BCT).

So as Yoda stated, the Right wrist ideally (for a swinger) is Bent, Level, Turned at the top, his idea was correct in that 5-C-2 says Bent Level Turned, but 5-C-2 should be say Bent, Cocked, Turned. As usual, the professor had it nailed, "Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato-BLT" for the right hand- just that his revision post will say 5-B-2. Or who knows it might say R2D2.

There should be no confusion on this point:
DG,
You must have the 5th edition (or earlier), wherin the 5-C-2 Right Wrist was Bent, Cocked and Turned. This was an error in earlier editions before Homer came to fully understand the Right Arm Flying Wedge and its constant Bent Right Wrist condition. The 6th edition corrected the earlier editions and stated the proper Right Wrist Top Condition as Bent, Level and Turned.
Mike O.,
There is no error in the 6th edition. In fact, the 6th edition corrected the error of earlier editions.
At the Top, the Left Wrist is Flat, Cocked and Turned. The Right Wrist is Bent, Level and Turned (BLT per 5-C-2 in the 6th edition). This is, in fact, the 'Useful Combination' so described by the Header. At no time should the Right Wrist Cock, in 'Useful Combinations' or otherwsie.

...why would Homer repeat the wrist condition BLT in the 6th edition twice???
DG
The Bent, Level and Turned Right Wrist Condition is repeated (5-B-2 and 5-C-2) because it is the preferred Condition whether the Left Wrist is Level (5-B-1) or Cocked (5-C-1).
The Cocked Right Wrist is never preferred because (1) the Left Wrist -- not the Right Wrist -- is responsible for the Vertical Motion (Cock and Uncock) necessary to Shorten and Extend the Stroke Radius (Primary Lever Assembly); and (2) when the Right Wrist is Cocked, the Right Forearm Flying Wedge Alignment is destroyed and with it, the invaluable Right Forearm Support of the Clubshaft.
