Jeff, I hope this reply finds you well. Obviously, you're confused. Concerning your last paragraph: If the Right Wrist remains Level and Bent throughout the Backstroke and Downstroke and leads the Club into impact, then how does the Uncocking Left Wrist Increase the Speed of the Clubhead greater than that which has already been provided by the Right Forearm? It's not a trick question.
You didn't need to go through all of that research just to find out that most pro's have hands decelerating before impact. You could've just asked me.
If you want to use the pro's for research in how to compete on tour, I'm all for it. But if you think that by studying the way the pro's swing that you'll uncover a secret, then good luck and when we meet on the other side, you can tell me all about it.
If you want to believe that the only way to swing is by dumping all of the energy on the ball at an impact location then go ahead. Impact is incidental. But explain why some golfers have the club twisted around their bodies at the end of their swing. Is that Fall-out?

6-M-0 GENERAL The Release triggers into action all the Power Accumulators employed in the Power Package and starts the Components toward their respective pre-selected Impact Positions. All practice is focused on mastery of this Moment of Truth. All Concentration is directed toward holding the attention to the requirements of the Total Motion during the Downstroke sequence – that it will flow smoothly through Impact from The Top directly to The Finish ( at least the Follow-through) without the slightest disturbance from – or for – Impact (12-13).
6-M-1 DOWNSTROKE SEQUENCE The Downstroke sequence of the Stroke Components is dictated essentially by Centrifugal Force; acceleration of a lagging Component will cease at the instant it achieves an “In-Line” position with its immediately preceding Component.
Centers and Accumulators can be sequenced, overlapped, omitted, emphasized, triggered, and timed as the players understanding and skill permit. But the Club’s Swing Radius (6-B-0) ends at the “non-lagging” Component nearest to the Clubhead. The “Centers” of the Stroke start with the Feet or the employed Component nearest to the feet in the following order: Knees, Hips, Shoulders, arms, Right Elbow, Left Wristcock and/or Left Hand Rotation. For maximum Power, the position of must be taken with that will allow Delay of the Release until all Components, except the Right Foot and Right Shoulder, have reached, or passed the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball per 6-B-1-C. Then the Accumulators must move very rapidly toward their “In-Line” Position. But none should actually arrive (lose all their Lag and Drag until well after Impact. Also see 6-H-0.
Power Accumulators Release sequence is #4, #1, #2, #3 – regardless of which ones are being employed. Any Accumulator number may overlap or replace its preceding number but cannot precede it. Increase Overlap to increase THRUST – decrease Overlap to increase Velocity.
So Jeff, did he just say to blast the Left Arm off of the Chest at the Beginning of the Downstroke? Where is that? I must be misreading the Downstroke Sequence. I changed the text to red so that it won't take you too long to find it.

6-C-2-B ANGULAR ACCELERATION The Clubhead “overtaking” speed is governed by the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum whereby the increased Mass resulting from any extension of the Swing Radius decelerates the hands and unless they are supported by Power Package Thrust (6-B-1) or Throw Out Action (2-K), can result in great loss of Clubhead Speed. Rely on Clubhead Lag to meter out the necessary support for the Primary Lever Assembly. Strictly speaking, any increase in the product of Mass times Velocity is Acceleration whether or not the Speed is changed. But the formula for Kinetic Energy gives Velocity the greater value. And, actually, the acceptable tolerance in the Ball-to-Clubhead weight ratio is quite small.

6-B-4-0 THE FORTH POWER ACCUMULATOR The angle formed by the Left Arm and Left Shoulder forms the Forth Power Accumulator. It is not only an independent Power Accumulator, but its Triggering function as the Checkrein of the Right Elbow is also vastly important and it thus can be the Accumulator of the Accumulators – or Master Accumulator. Also see 2-M-4.
As Accumulator #4 it is Pivot (Body) Power supplying the initial acceleration of the Downstroke to throw the Lever Assemblies toward Impact by the Thrust of the Shoulder Turn. See 7-13. Another major contribution to Impact Power is geometric – it is the first link in the Swing Radius power train between the Club and the Feet.
[B]“Left Arm Power” in any form or amount can still be considered #4 Accumulator Action.[/b] Otherwise it actually substitutes for the Pivot to introduce the circular motion required to produce Centrifugal Force.
Bold and Red by me. So, my ART stands the way I see it. Jeff, for anyone who wants to copy my art, it's only 5 cents, but for you, it's 10 cents.
