The 2+2+ sweepers put your wrists a bit straighter than the standard FLHX bars
Much more relaxed IMHO

This is easily found for all bars and is measured in inches. To visualize this - draw a straight line on a pience of paper. Zero pullback is a drag bar. There is no change to the line you just drew. A 6 inch pull back would put the ends of the line 6 inches down from the line.
This is not calculated in degress but inches from straight line of the bar.
Wrist angle IS NOT the same as pullback... SMH

Why don't you explain to everyone what pullback is? And what does that affect? Then explain why you are being a snot to people who are trying to help you.

Clearly shows what PULLBACK is.
Clearly shows what wrist angle is.
Happy now?

So then you are saying the pullback determines the wrist angle?
