Down the line video - can you see a flat lead wrist when looking from behind?

If the video is clear enough, I can see the cupped trail wrist. In addition to tell if the wrist is flat, is there a way to gauge how flat or bowed the lead wrist is from this angle? Just wondering if it's ok to guage key #3 with DTL video.

Can you post your example? I assume this is your swing?

I mean in general. Here's a couple of samples. I can't seem to find a real flippy one. The middle one is looking a little flippy?

For me I would say look at A6, you can kinda see if the left hand is bowed or not at that position.

As for impact, I am not sure you can tell from those videos. I think you can make an educated guess due to the strike, ball flight, and how the clubhead moves through impact. Besides that, I doubt you would be able to tell the degree of which a person has a flat left wrist or bowed wrist at impact from this angle.

Yup, look at 6. As I understand it, 6 to 7 happens so quickly that there isn't enough time to change, so if the lead wrist is cupped at 6, it's going to be cupped at 7.

I didn't know that. It makes sense though, never thought of that way. That's a tidbit I wish I knew earlier.

It'll be interesting looking for this in swing videos, although my library contains mostly good swings (mine notwithstanding). I'll need to load up some videos where the overtaking rates are opposite that of Zach Johnson.
