Eric describes ways that a golfer can close-or-open the clubface in the following video.
The most stupefyingly wrongheaded claim that he makes during his video presentation is his "belief" that one can perform any-or-all of these wrist/forearms motions at any time point in the golf swing action.
His ignorance regarding golf swing biomechanics is astonishing!

Here is another EC video that he has just posted today (12/13/2023) on the same topic. Eric wrongheadedly claims that if a golfer bows his lead wrist by palmar flexing his lead wrist in the plane of lead wrist horizontal hinging that it will have 3 potential benefits - i) it will close the clubface, ii) it will shallow the clubshaft during the downswing and iii) it will allow a golfer to more easily get forward shaft lean at impact. I only agree with the potential benefit of claim #3. Bowing the lead wrist during the backswing, or at P4, can close the clubface slightly by 20 - 30 degrees if one uses the reverse motorcycle maneuver when performing a bowing lead wrist action while the lead wrist is radially-deviated. However, that clubface-closing effect automatically/naturally dissipates between P6 => 7 as a result of the release of PA#2. Also, EC does not really use the reverse motorcycle move in his "real life" golf swing action - as seen in the golf swing action performed between the 11:30 - 11:35 minute time point of the video. When I stopped the video at his P4 position (at ~11:30 minute time point of the video), one can see that he actually has a slightly cupped lead wrist ( = GFLW) where the clubface is roughly parallel to the watchface area on the back of his lead lower forearm. Here are capture images of EC at his P4 position. Note that EC has a slightly cupped lead wrist (= GFLW) and that the clubface is roughly parallel to the watchface area of his lead lower forearm (which is expected if one has a GFLW alignment and a neutral lead hand grip). Then, one will note that there is no lead wrist bowing happening between P4 => P6 that can theoretically angle the clubshaft slightly below the lead arm abduction plane. Eric actually shallows his clubshaft in the standard manner between P4 => P6 in that golf swing action, secondary to an active trail upper arm adduction maneuver that is associated with increased trail forearm supination and a clockwise rotation of his lead hand (which could be due to a greater amount of lead forearm pronation or due to a greater amount of internal rotation of his lead humerus).
