Somewhere around 90 degrees is fine....and the goal is to sustain it well into impact.
Hogan and Garcia had more (possibly due to cupping the left wrist....possibly due to flexible wrists....honestly couldn't tell ya, but I really would like to know)....
But like you said....most don't....Tiger, Phil, VJ, Ernie, Trevino, Moe Norman, Byron Nelson.....they ain't slouches.
And really....if you have to bend the left wrist to get that much angle it could really throw you off (most people do not need a clubface that's MORE open....i.e. you certainly would not want to get a slicer to do this)....
....and then again, it could work for you....and does work for some.
Nothing wrong with a flat wrist tho that's for sure.

One guy told me the more acute angle at the top, the harder it is to time the uncocking at impact.
If it's because of a bent left wrist I could agree a lot of the time....but not as a rule....and certainly not if the wrist is flat at the top.
You time nothing.....the release is automatic. (assuming a Swing- and a good one)
Law Of The Flail man. And it works like a flail. Like an inanimate flail works. That sucker releases when it wants to release.

Really, if anything, the reverse of that statement (above) is true as I see it.....having to time a release...."timing the flip."
You don't see so many world class and especially the absolute ALL-TIME elite ballstrikers flippin it.
