I don't understand your point of view.

The word "cocked" implies a state of radial deviation of the wrist, and I believe that the right wrist never becomes cocked (radially deviated) during the backswing, and it remains level (neither cocked or uncocked). I think that the right wrist bends (dorsiflexes) during the backswing, and it remains bent during the downswing and the followthrough, even though the right elbow straightens. There may less bend in the right wrist at the end of the followthrough, but it shouldn't ever straighten fully (fully palmar flex).

Based on the above, I cannot understand how the right hand can independently power the downswing (via some type of karate-chop action).

I don't recall talking about the backswing at all but since you mention it most good players have an element of right wrist cock in their backswing however small it may be and if you can't understand my opinion on the right hand function at impact ask someone else they may give you the standard tgm textbook answer you seek and while you are at it ask all of them to do a break down of hogans swing components. With time you may get a lot of answers but i bet not one of them will be the same. i have seen four or five and simply they are not even close to each other so goodluck and check the footage yourself and explain away the uncocked right wrist position detailed in an earlier post to you
