bent right wrist in follow-through/finish
I understand that the right wrist should be bent (and thus the left flat) through to "both-arms straight" (what I understand is how TGM defines "follow through"). Should an effort be made to sustain the bent-right (and flat left) beyond this point as the hands travel back up the plane?

I find that my right wrist "wants" to straighten some after my hands go past waist-height on the follow-through/finish (i.e., it seems like a good deal of manipulation is involved in keeping it bent at this point). I also notice that the right wrist looks flat on some tour swing pics I've seen from the down-the-line perspective.

I'm just wondering what the TGM thinking is on how far into the finish the bent right wrist should be sustained.

My apologies if this question has been discussed before. Thanks.

Good question
I had the same question. I find it impossible to hold the right wrist bent too far after impact. I use a tac tic and it clicks right after full extention when I hit full shots so I expect the answer is to let your right wrist straighten and left bend. I have also worked on keeping my left straight by turning the back of my left hand to the plane after impact which will allow you to keep the left flat and right bent well after impact but I don't know if that is OK.

I will be interested to hear the responses.

I, too, would like to know!

I think I've found a way to keep the flying wedges intact all the way to the top, but it doesn't feel all that natural...
But then again.. when you start with something new it always feels awkward in the beginning.

I also tried to do the left hand roll, and it works to a degree. But I sometimes over do it, leading to REALLY messed up top spin style snake killers. But this might have to do with the fact that I always used to let my body get ahead of my arms which sort of initiated the roll with the hands still aproaching the ball.

When trying to address with the right forehand in line with the clubshaft I feel that my wrists are uncocked. Is that correct? Something in my head yells "flat, level and vertical" but I don't remember the application... sorry.

The left side of the swing in many ways mirrors the right side of the swing. After contact into follow through , the club shaft again points at the plane line, the left hand is bent , the right hand flat. The left arm bent, the right arm straight.
