When To Flatten The Bent Left Wrist

If you bent the right wrist at takeaway, there is a little roll on the left arm such that the left wrist becomes flat and then hinging to the top? You should not have a bent left wrist at the top?
Welcome to LynnBlakeGolf, Daryti, and thank you for this first post. To your question:

While the only Imperative is that the Left Wrist be Flat at Impact, the Left (and Right) Wrist Conditions ideally are established much sooner. In fact, the application of Extensor Action virtually assures this result during the Start-Up. Hence, the inclusion of Item 16 (Start Up -- L/R Wrist Conditions) in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3).
