left arm, golf club plane

Is it necessary to have the left arm and the golf club on the same plane on the downswing? And if so, how is that achieved without a flat left wrist? It seems that with a cupped wrist, the shaft is more vertical than the arm and with a bowed wrist, the shaft is under the left arm plane. Thoughts please?

Thats why most cupped left wrist players have strong grips, so they can rotate the left arm and lead more with the heelpad thru impact. And the more neutral grip bowed player turns the left arm down more to the ball.

Hello Kevin, DC from Nemacolin here...pretty new to your forum here, just throwing some ideas out. If the heelpad leads, the knuckles are up, yes? Zack Johnson? So you can have a less than flat left wrist at impact?
