Forearm moves away from body

I think the way you describe it without using "clockwise" is well stated and clear, as usual.

No. That's not what I asked. I didn't ask you to rewrite the response that you understood. I asked you to answer dquarasr's question to that: "Wouldn’t turning the wrist inward tend to bring the arm closer to the body rather than away?" ---

To which I responded: "When a right-handed player twists clockwise during his stroke, yes, the elbow pushes inward but the forearm and hand will angle outward from the body."

That's a separate question, but since you ask, I think it could go either way depending on the player.

What do you mean by it depends on the player? Can you provide examples, or at least elaborate a little more on that? Remember, you're supposed to be rewriting my response to make it clearer --- Does what you wrote make things clearer? And by the way, of course it's separate question. Is this a revelation to you? That separate question is what I answered in the post that you claimed that you didn't understand. Are you getting it now?

he grip knuckles ( hand, not fingers) of a right-handed player usually sit at address between 2 and 3 o'clock, with the 12 o'clock reference point being the top (facing the ceiling) of the cue
Which way is clockwise?

Clockwise is when the hands of a clock move from 12 o clock to 3 o clock. Or movement to the right. Counterclockwise is then the clock hands move from 12 o clock to the 9 o clock direction or movement to the left. If you get behind someone who is getting ready to shoot, if the butt of the cue turns inward towards their body, that is counterclockwise twist. If the grip turns outward during address, that is turning clockwise or to the right for a right hand player and the opposite for a left hand player.

I'm not really sure what we're disagreeing about, Fran - let's say you win.

Well, okay. I'm still not clear where I went wrong with my clockwise comment as you say. I only asked for you to make it clear where I went wrong, but you took us in circles with no resolution. So let's just let it hang out there and move on.
