Thanks Matt, the link was helpful.

The pro at impact may or may not have a bend in the right wrist, but in each case it is level as long as it is still a horizontal movement.
I was referring to the forbidden vertical motion (i.e. cocking and uncocking of right wrist). Take a look at the photo on the left of this link:

To me, the the right wrist seems to be slightly uncocked. It doesn't look level. If you draw a straght line from elbow point to middle of wrist, and another line wrist to fingers, you would find that they are at an angle. If they were to be level, then there should be no divergence between these two lines. Maybe it's a bad camera angle?

Another point in case someone brings this up: one can argue that because the right forearm and the club does indeed form a straight line in the photo, the right wrist must be level. But I think this is not true since the club is held in the hands at an angle, so in order to get the club and right forearm in one line, the right wrist should be uncocked.
