Maintaining that Level Wrist despite such a long Backstroke is why his Right Forearm (and Elbow) gets into that positively outrageous -- but geometrically correct -- 'flying' alignment at the Top.
Would somebody please find and post such an overhead? Let's check it out!

There is NO WAY the club can point almost straight down to the ground like that at the End without softing the left arm AND cocking the right wrist even with a flying right elbow. His arms are soft at the End and the weight of the clubhead has cocked the right wrist.
Try it for yourself. I'm as flexible as anyone and the level right wrist prohibits his End club attitude no matter how high I fly the right elbow. In fact with a level right wrist, I can't even get the club to horizontal, much less past it.
