Flat Left Wrist - Strength

[cwdlaw223]

Why is it hard for stronger people to have a flat left wrist at the top of their backswing as stated by Brian in his YouTube video about flat left wrists?

Because it generally feels like a weak position and banding the wrists...both of them, feels strong.

I'm curious from an anatomical perspective why it feels this way. Is there a tendon that's more activated with a cupping action?

Probably just because it gives you a feeling of having more leverage on the club. Cupping the left wrist feels like you're utilizing your wrist as an extra lever, when compared to keeping it flat.
