Bend at the top
DES,
Alrighty then!!! We are getting somewhere!
The internet is certainly not the best method of communication and it's sometimes difficult to write with clarity. Misunderstandings abound so we have to be careful. I am VERY thankful that Yoda is a gifted communicator. There are others here with incredible teaching and writing skills. We are privilaged to have them here to help.
Mizuno is right about "where" the flat left wrist is mandatory.
Your bending at the top may be a function of your grip. A strong grip will naturally "cup" at the top, but geometrically it is flat. The important thing for a hitter is to make sure the palm of your right hand and right forearm are "supporting" the plane at the top of your swing when your hands are shoulder high. Like Hogans plane of glass, your right hand and forearm will be holding that plane in it's fixed position, then you will drive down it and THROUGH it at impact. Keeping your hands frozen throughout.
If the cup at the top is causing problems, I recommend you visit the Hitters emergency room and discuss grip with Ted.
Thanks for clarifying,
Bagger
