Bent right wrist versus flat left?

One reason could be that the Flat Left Wrist exclusively performs the third function of the Golfing Machine -- contolling the clubface through hinge action.
The Golfing Machine has only three functions which it accomplishes through the Three Imperatives:
1. Straight Plane Line = Clubshaft control
2. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point = Clubhead control
3. Flat Left Wrist = Clubface control
The Right Hand performs none of these.
There is also a both wrists bent condition that exists in between the solely one wrist bent conditions. At impact fix, one has to bend back the wrist wrist far enough so the left wrist is flat. Otherwise both wrists are bent.
It does seem that Yoda stresses the importance of the bent right more than that of the the flat left during the downswing. Even for swinging. Switter?

Important to note that the Left Wrist isn't made Flat by movement of the Right Wrist at Impact Fix; rather, you first set the Left Arm Flying Wedge with a Flat, Level and Vertical Left Wrist. Only then do you form the Right Forearm Flying Wedge by placing the Right Hand on the grip with the Right Wrist Level and Vertical and with just enough bend to accomodate ball position.

Right Hand = ClubHEAD
Left Hand = ClubFACE
Left Hand = ClubFACE
PP#3 IS the CLUBHEAD.
Homer didn't know what he had with the Flying Wedges. He was just understanding their importance to TGM. Had he lived the Wedges would have replaced the TRAID. He said knowing the Wedges was even simplier then the TRAID. A bent 90 dgree strut (right) into a flat 180 degree surface (left) is as strong a position found in nature. A less then 2 oz golf ball has no chance. "Roll back the wedges."
Brian,
I read your anti-slice (well done) and I've been working hard on the wrist positions. Well, for the life of me I can't keep the left wrist flat very long after impact. In the beginning I found that it wasn't flat through impact and I was flipping badly at the ball. Surprisingly, it produced reasonable shots (must of fixed something else in the swing), which would be playable but not my objective. I want to be able to squeeze the crap outta the ball and get that "sizzle". Are there any drills or thoughts/feels one should do to ingrain the flat left wrist? Or perhaps the problem is the right wrist not being bent enough at impact?

Where in the book does it say that PP3 MUST be in use at all times? I don't believe it does. And how would you reconcile your statement with 10-11-A thru C which clearly give a number of pressure point combinations that omit #3.
10-11-0. GENERAL Pressure Point Combinations are classified according to the number of Pressure Points being used and the possible combinations thereof. They constitute Clubhead control per 1-L-B.
I have always felt that pp3 is the pp of all pp. I use pp3 for chipping, iron shots, and off the tee. I do not use much pp3 when I putt, more pp1 as I like the feeling of the shaft being pushed.
PP3 for me is a DOWNWARD hurt on the ball.
But not all machines have to be built the same way. I can't do without that pressure point either swinging or hitting (yes- pp1 drives the right arm but pp3 dumps down on the ball).
