Uhm, yes, I have. And I've done it way before the second picture. Way before the first picture too. http://thesandtrap.com/t/44717/is-there-a-5th-power-accumulator

That may be a good feel or drill to make sure it's flat at impact but trying to keep it flat reduces speed.  Swing an alignment stick with your left arm only as fast as you can.  You'll notice the left wrist is cupped at the finish, this is how is should be.  Check our Rory's swing
