The Wrists in the Golf Swing
I never think about the wrist. It'll do what ever it wants to do.

Paddy’s Golf Tips. Wrists in the Golf Swing. Part 1 & 2.
Homer Kelley "The Golfing Machine" anyone? 
The less I think about my hands or wrists the better I hit it. I actually try to take the club straight back with no hinge. The hinge will happen any way and trying to do something will just make things worse for me.
Another thread about people 'thinking' while trying to play.
A wonder anyone breaks 90. Front tees or back.
Korean Pro Golfer Heo for the win.
If one wants to understand supination, radial/ulnar deviation, flexion, and how the clubface is controlled by the hands/wrists refer to Homer Kelley's book "The Golfing Machine". <---Mac O'Grady and Gary McCord go nuts on TGM. 99% of hacks have no interest nor any idea what this is about nor do they care. BUT, all pros do these factors some of them somewhat differently, but ALL do them very well. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say 80%+ on this forum have never felt what Marty Nowicki shows in the use of Kelvin Miyahira's invention the Impact Snap. The Impact Snap puts your hands, wrists, arms in these positions which like I say most have never felt. BTW, there is no right or wrong if you don't like this stuff just pass over it. This is for folks that want to understand more. The OP asked a question so here's more info. that many have not even considered.
I practice swinging occasionally with a 90 degree wrist brace. I don't think it will ever happen, but I want every thing to be in the same place at the same time every time.

Your wrists are levers. They’re being used in the golf swing (for good or bad) whether you consciously feel it or not. No one can swing the club without the wrists involved. Even Steve Stricker.
I see lots of instructors teach supple wrists. Not sure where you'd get the idea it's rare.
If you want to be loosy goosy in the wrists great as long as what ever you do in your swing is repeatable.

I've been to 6 different instructors over the years. Nobody told me anything about wrists, except "don't cup at the top." Would have been nice if I was told "here's something you're not doing that can add 20-30 yards." I guess I saw the wrong instructors!
