The conscious effort to maintain it at level is surely only important if you are actively thrusting with your right elbow...then you have to maintain it to get on plane thrust...?

You are right that the left wrist cock allows the body to turn more quickly but i think that if you turn to quickly you can easily initiate throw out action too early. So whilst you can turn quickly it is hard to keep the club from throwing out....

I think that you should only turn as quickly as you can to allow the hands to take their desired path.

And I think that is slower hands than most people think if you want a max trigger delay style....

The slow hands allows max trigger delay which, via endless belt, gives good distance despite slow hands....

If your forearms can delay release whilst the hands take straight line path then you can turn quickly....

But i think that for most people you achieve trigger delay by slowing your turning motion...IMO...not saying this is gospel but just the way i have read the book and experienced it....so correct me if you think i am wrong...any thoughts?
The reason that anyone and everyone unintentionally Cocks their Right Wrist during the backswing, is because they Don’t get their Right Shoulder Back to the Plane. If you Cock Your Right Wrist you have a Lateral Sway to the right whether you want to believe it or not. Your Left Shoulder may be turning to the right but your right shoulder is not equally and simultaneously going back. Your Right Elbow is collapsing because it’s being crowded and you have no choice but to cock your right wrist because your right Elbow can’t raise as your left arm raises.

Most Pros have a level Right Wrist (including Tiger) more than halfway back, but then their Right Wrist Cocks at the Top of their Swing because their Right Shoulder just won't turn any farther or becaue they have the ridiculous idea that at the Top of every backswing, that their Clubshaft must be parallel to the ground and point at the target. Hmm? Where did they get that idea?

The solution is Extensor Action or put your Level Right Wrist is a cast at address. Then your Right Shoulder will be forced back to the Plane by your Educated Hands and Right Elbow. Also, If you start your Backswing by moving the Shoulders as in the Classic One-Piece-Takeaway, they have no clue where to go or how far back it is to the Plane. If you start with the Right Forearm Takeaway, and don’t sway, and keep your weight back toward your heels, you will keep a Level Right Wrist and your Hands will direct and move your Right Shoulder back to the Plane.

It gets even better than that. Your Educated Hands will move your Right Should Back as far as the Length of your Backswing dictates and requires. No more guessing how far to turn your shoulders. An Additional benefit is the Straight Line Delivery Path, and bla, bla, bla.

Anyway, it’s just a thought.
