Left wrist: What is the definitive Manzellean statement?

I have got myself totally confused.

What is the definitive Manzellean statement on the position and movement of the left wrist at 1) impact and 2) follow thru (i.e. just after impact)?

After impact, does the left wrist merely rotate (i.e. keeping flat left wrist)...or does the left wrist rotate and bend back (such that back of left hand gets closer to watch face)?

Good ? I'm no expert. I would say it depends on the golfer and what his or her tendencies are and if those tendencies are working or not, if its working then dont change what isnt broken, but if its not working then ok change.

Brian posted something late in the "New Release" thread about how he might change some of his videos. He didn't mention changing NSA much, SO.....you can say from this that many wrist positions are legit, including doing twistaway with wedding ring up at the end- this keep a FLW almost throughout.

However, I think he'd say that video has its specific purpose(s), and perhaps in MANY other patterns the FLW is not an important goal. He's pointed out that the best players thoughout history have been "lining it up" and hands moving up on their way to impact. Impact's the main thing, and secondarily the speed and accuracy one can get while achieving good impact semi reliably. I believe he's said bottomline the FLW aint no imperative.

As to the rotation part, this to me sounds like something that one has to decide depending on the pattern and the desired ball flight. A fader might have more of a hold off move for instance.
