Yes.
Did you REALLY mean 3. above
-we don't want the left wrist bending- nor the right wrist unbending.

I intend to unbend the right wrist (for pushing the grip against the clubhead lag) coming down, although the clubhead lag (or shaft flex) is too great to be overcome by the action and the right wrist still looks bent prior to or at impact. After impact, however, it is not!

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

I'm having trouble seeing how unbending the right wrist pushes against clubhead lag. I can only see how unbending the right wrist would actuate a throwing motion of the clubhead. I seems with a proper grip, pushing against clubhead lag would actually cause/maintain bend.

And if your intent is to unbend the right wrist, would it not be in the flattened conditioned at finish? I'd say for most good players that I see, yes the right wrist may tend to flatten at some point, but at finish it is back to bent. If the mind's intent was to flatten the wrist, I'd think that it would tend to stay in flatten condition.

There is a MAJOR difference between pushing PP3 against the shaft with the intent of straightening the right wrist to move the clubhead that also bends the left wrist and eliminates rhythm (throwaway- unprincipled), with, PP3 feeling the Lag through the Impact zone as the right arm straightens with a residue (no intent) of flattening after impact.

I would agree that the right wrist unbends as the left wrist uncocks-but it unbends only to the point where the left wrist is flat-and no more and therefore stays bent.

Not sure what you mean, Neil.

My right wrist bends with the left wristcock on the backswing.It is slightly less bent at impact after uncocking the left wrist.

So the left wrist is cupped at the top and returns to flat at impact? Does the right elbow control the cocking and uncocking of the left wrist? I like the image of the frozen right wrist...maybe that only applies to swinging.
