He refers to this MS-video.
In his video, MS gets his student Brendon to get more forward shaft lean at impact by encouraging him to deliberately try to "flip-his-right wrist " from a "set" right wrist position at P5.5. Why does that seemingly counterintuitive idea work?
Here is my explanation.

I believe that a "good" golfer who has his power package loaded at the P5.5 position with the RFFW correctly aligned relative to the intact LAFW (and with ~90 degrees of lag present) will have his right palm well-positioned against PP#1 at the P5.5 position. When he tries to actively use his right arm/hand to apply an "active" force at that time point in his downswing, he will actually produce an "active" push-force at PP#1 (which is above the coupling point) by actively straightening the right arm that causes PA#4 to release faster, which will get the hands faster into impact with the hands well ahead of the clubhead. In other words, although one can mentally try and isolate the "active" right-sided force to an isolated "active" right wrist flipping action, it is not biomechanically easy when the right elbow is bent to a ~90 degree angle at the power package loaded P5.5 position, and any attempt to use an "active" right-sided force causes an "active" right arm straightening action that causes the right palm to increase push-pressure at PP#1 (which is above the coupling point), which will help increase the forward speed of motion of the left arm (which in TGM terms is equivalent to "increasing the speed of release of PA#4) and that gets the hands into impact faster.
By contrast, a non-skilled golfer will likely apply his right-sided push-pressure force against the back of the shaft below the coupling point (at or near PP#3) and that will increase the speed of motion of the clubshaft relative to the speed of motion of the left arm, and that will increase the likelihood of flipping before-or-through impact.
