Please explain this connection between the bowed left wrist at top or end and the weight moving to the toes. I have both, sadly, and need a fix. I try to correct the wrist but it keeps coming back. On video the left wrist looks good at top but by end it is bowed, what gives?
Very excited to think it might be corrected with rocking abatement intervention (RAI).

Firstly, I look at everything from a geometric basis. Both, Arching and Bending, shorten the radius (shoulder to sweetspot). Secondly, the act of moving to the toes
can move the fulcrum (the Left Shoulder) closer to the ball. Therefore, a shorter radius and a fulcrum that moves closer to the ball can work together, in compensation, to strike the ball. Kudos go to Mr. Hogan for seeing the relationships.
The only reason that I said that it
"can" is that sometimes the head will Bob up and back to serve as a counter-balance for the forward change in CG. In this case, the fulcrum is getting closer on one axis and getting further away on another axis causing a multi-compensated stroke. Otherwise, moving to the toes can cause a change in CG and a step towards the ball.
Extensor Action helps us to keep the FLW. Maintaining width in the stroke requires us to maintain our distance from the ball. Shortening the radius requires us to get closer to the ball.
