what i am asking is a answer in degrees? -------you have hit on another problem i am having-not getting both arms extented in the follow through.could you give me a reason and a fix for this problem?

I have been told it's between 30 and 45 degrees right wrist bend at impact for a right handed golfer. I was told this by a top teacher who posts on this site, but he also told me that the measurements aren't that important.
I believe Yoda's post is also very helpful above.

Catch ya on the lesson tee.
Fortunately, Jerry, you will find no such answer in The Golfing Machine.
Homer Kelley'sStar System of Golf provides practical aid for Golfers where they need it most: On the Golf Course. He had no interest in laboratory measurements, although he stated that the lab would show those he defined to be "well within acceptable tolerances" (1-H). Further, in the three Golf Stroke Engineering Master classes he lived to conduct, he was openly skeptical of any golfer being able to see -- much less achieve in actual play -- "eight degrees" of this or that. The whole thing just happens too fast and varies from Golfer to Golfer and Stroke to Stroke.
Accordingly, he was interested in defining relationships only in terms that can be checked visually (and thus be reliably applied). These include, for example, "flat, parallel, horizontal, vertical, straight, On Plane or centered" because there is "no question of degree in such alignments" (1-C). So, other than the application of Normal Force -- at right angles (90 degrees) -- Component Relationships are defined in terms of a geometric figure, not in terms of degrees.
Given the already daunting nature of the book, consider it one of Homer's 'tender mercies.'
could the right wrist bend increase in the back swing or should it be constant from address? if i did increase my right wrist bend in the back swing would this hurt my top of swing positions?

jerry,
Once your flying wedges are established try very hard to maintain them. Increasing the right wrist bend is a major destruction just waiting to happen.
"Accordingly, he was interested in defining relationships only in terms that can be checked visually (and thus be reliably applied)."
Hence, my past reference to the three most important words in TGM...LOOK,LOOK,LOOK. As I've said before, those who have "put in the time" will know. See the alignments (look), feel the alignments and the forces they produce, and incubate and memorize ALL OF THEIR RAMIFICATIONS.
