I think that he doesn't understand golf swing biomechanics.
Nick Faldo has a GFLW and intact LAFW, but he doesn't have a bent left wrist. Dan C doesn't seemingly understand the difference. Also, the cupping of NF's left wrist is due his neutral left hand grip and GFLW. A golfer who uses a very strong left hand grip will also have the same degree of cupping at the end-backswing position - but only if the LAFW is intact.
TW has an AFLW (which means that his left wrist is slightly palmar flexed) and DJ has a bowed left wrist because his left wrist is markedly palmar flexed, and he doesn't have an intact LAFW - note that his club is drooping below the plane of the left arm.
Finally, the right wrist will always be dorsiflexed if one aligns the RFFW correctly relative to the LAFW at the end-backswing position - irrespective of grip strength.
Dan wrote-: "For many golfers, creating this right wrist bend will make the club face feel very closed, almost like it is facing the ground. This is to be expected and is a good thing, because if the clubface is too open on the downswing you will never have forward shaft lean."
That's BS!
Dan wrote-: "The secondary benefit of right wrist bend is it helps shallow out angle of attack and helps shallow out the plane angle making it easier to get path inside out for the average golfer."
That's BS!
The right wrist must bend back if the right elbow bends in the backswing thereby allowing the back of the FLW and palm of the right hand to be parallel to the inclined plane.
Note how Martin Hall has to bend his right wrist back in image 3 & 4 to enable him to get his right palm to be parallel to the inclined plane.
