Studied all the videos - But I have questions on my right-handed trail side.

Studied all the videos - But I have questions on my right-handed trail side swing at beginning of downswing: After I get to top of backswing with right arm back to the right, away from target & forearm up at 90 degrees, what are next several moves in order among these possible moves? 1) Right forearm moved back DTL away from target? 2) Right wrist turns palm up more to sky? Are # 1 & 2 done together as one move or is there a very slight difference? Or does it feel like wrist/arm is turned up more before or after arm goes back away from target? Does it feel more like just wrist turns up or whole forearm turned up, which makes it feel more like right elbow is involved? - If I feel like elbow is turning arm over, it also seems to force that elbow down to my right side earlier and is more locked up. 3) Core moves toward target? I am especially confused about when to start push with core toward target - is it at same time as #1/2 being done or very slightly after #1/2 are done? There are nuances and semantics involved in the videos; so thanks for helping me understand. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Also has Chuck's trail side swing been posted; and if so, where, as I couldn't find it? It would be helpful to see trail side swing, as was done with the lead-side swing, in full motion DTL and FO and also slow motion DTL and FO. Thanks

Hello Doug. I do not believe we Chuck has posted a FO and DTL copy yet other than his 80 yard wedge swing. The trail arm (wrist-elbow) will face more towards the sky in transition which is external rotation or supination. It will feel like a unit that get locked into position to work down. The core/trail side and this supination move happen almost simultaneously. If you watch the Squish the Bug Part 3 or Magic of Supination. You will see there is a sequence to it but try to make it natural and not over think your way to the position. Trail side is more a feel movement pattern.
