Remember Homer didn't operate in degrees . . . Flat (or In Line) is Flat every single time and can be visually ascertained . . . Bent on the other hand becomes a matter of degrees . . .how much Bent? . . . enough to be Flat . . .
AND . . . How's about this here?
We have
1. Flat Left Wrist
2. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point
3. Straight Plane Line
but NO BENT RIGHT WRIST.
And the whole Horizontal Hinge Swinging that you soooo got the hotts for.

I would agree that the imperatives have been met, HOWEVER, I would argue that because the left arm and clubshaft are out of line at follow through, rhythm has been sacrificed and a certain amount of throwaway has occured. I don't care who he is, I do not like it. Maybe if he had better rhythm he wouldn't have to hit so many golf balls!
This discussion is about rhythm isn't it? I personally feel that Rhythm, along with balance, are imperatives and I treat them as such. The clubhead, shaft, left arm (which includes the wrist and shoulder) must all travel at the same rpms, PERIOD. Either the right arm, pivot, or both must drive this power package to a both arms straight position while maintaining rhythm. I do not think this picture illustrates this.
