Also, remember that the entire Right Forearm Flying Wedge -- the Right Elbow, the Forearm, the Bent Right Wrist, the No. 3 Pressure Point and the Rigid Extension, i. e., the dowel -- will remain on the Horizontal Plane throughout. The Big Deal is to set the Right Wrist in a Rigid Bent Right Wrist Condition and then hold it throughout the 'Backstroke' and 'Throughstroke.'
Yoda, are you saying that the dowel will be parallel to the ground throughout?
In this drill, absolutely. You must get the 'Feel' of maintaining the entireRight Forearm Flying Wedge Assembly in the same Plane. The Assembly willonly be on the Angled Plane of the Stroke from Release through theFollow--Through. But the Assembly will be in its own Plane throughoutand will be positioned at 90 degrees to the Left Arm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1).
It is this Mechanic -- the On Plane Right Forearm Flying Wedge -- thatmust become a 'Describable Sensation' (1-J) and incorporated into your Strokeas an Identifiable Feel. When you can do this, you will go to the Next Level.
