On your website you have mentioned the below:
Here are capture images of Rickie Fowler through the impact zone - from a face-on swing video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEQwhJdflZY
Rickie Fowler's impact zone sequence (from P6 to P7.5) - capture images from his swing video
One can see that Rickie Fowler is using a full roll hand release action from impact to the P7.5 position. Note how straight his right arm/wrist is between P7.2 and P7.5 and note that he has freely released the clubhead through impact. When watching the swing video at a normal swing speed, note that Rickie Fowler freely releases his clubhead through impact. Does he have to bend his left wrist after impact (between the P7 postion and the P7.5 postion) in order to freely release his clubhead?
The answer is no!
Here is a DTL swing video of Rickie Fowler's hand release action through the impact zone - www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMyGoUN_lmU
Here are capture images from his swing video.
Note that Rickie Fowler is performing a full roll hand release action and that he is maintaining a FLW and intact LAFW (clubshaft is not passing his left arm from a rotational perspective) between the P7.2 position and the P7.5 position. In other words, if one rolls the FLW out-of-the-way with perfect timing and speed during the execution of a full roll hand release action, then one can actively straighten the right arm/wrist without breaking down the FLW and flip-bending the left wrist. The key "swing thought" that a golfer should harbor in order to prevent flip-bending the left wrist after impact is the "swing thought" of leading with the FLW and ensuring that the FLW is always leading the right wrist/hand through the impact zone. One must never slow down (stall) the FLW's forward motion through the impact zone - in other words, one must always remember the sound advice found in Hogan's book [7] - "keep the left hand driving all the time" and also "be sure you hit through with the left as hard as with the right".

Question:
When I look at the top 6 images of RF I cannot easily see any independent external rotation of his lead shoulder socket, so what is he doing biomechanically with his upper body pivot , shoulder girdle and whole left arm to maintain a FLW and intact LAFW while performing that full roll hand release?
