I was just curious if Dustin has ever spoke about his famous bowed wrist position at the top. Why did he decide to bring this into his golf swing? Was it to stop the wrist cupping when he was younger?

As far as I know he's always bowed, palmar flexed, his left wrist.  For him it probably feels normal and not like he is consciously doing it

I'm sure i read that Butch Harmon asked him about it when they started working together and Dustin said he's always hit the ball that way and it feels totally normal for him so Butch decided to leave it alone.

Yeah there really isn't any reason to change it.  When Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett worked with Dustin, they worked on downswing/followthrough pieces

I am wondering if the bowed wrist does not help him keep the wrist cock a bit more in the downswing.
