At the risk of losing the "astute observation " tag, even faster than normal, Im not sure I follow you.
Are you saying that he is employing Standard Wrist Action (uncock and roll) and an Open Plane Line with the Clubface Rotated , opened to point at the target, solely? As opposed to an Intentional use of Throwaway or say a Single Wrist Action (uncock no roll) cut shot? (Common though they may be from the sand).
So Mr Donald, world no. 1 from the sand, gets it done with Alignment or Machine Adjustments (Plane Line Rotation and Clubface Rotation) rather than employing any hand manipulations? He's still Rolling a Flat Left Wrist even in the sand.
Sorry if Im belabouring the point but "I gots to know". The cows start to stampede when they see me climb into a green side bunker these days. And they're two fences and a gravel road away!!

Tell me what you see the left wrist doing at 0.12 - 0.13.

Well Sir, that looks like a Finish Swivel of the Flat Left Wrist back onto the Inclined Plane to my eye.
I can admit to not doing that when in the sand.
Thanks for this

PS What about Hinge Action? Does he employ Horizontal (albeit with a rotated grip/face) for all shots? What about a little Vertical Hinge cut shot for a short sand shot?

I see a left palm remaining 'down' into the Finish, i.e., left hand remaining in its original grip position as the right hand passes.

I must admit to being confused. When you say "down" , "in its original grip position" are you referring to a Pause Minor Basic Stroke type deal. Scooting (another S word) the club head ahead of the Hands intentionally but without a breaking left wrist ......which'd be Throwaway? Horizontal Hinge and Pause , like the photo in the book?
The Pause would present the bounce of the sand iron rather than send the front edge of the blade into the sand like a knife. Especially if the Grip or face is Rotated open.
