Uh, MJ...I'm not so sure Big John Cocks his Right Wrist at the End of his Stroke. I saw an overhead view in a commercial photo a while back, and it looked to me like his Right Wrist remained Level. Like you, I had always assumed that it was Cocked! Maintaining that Level Wrist despite such a long Backstroke is why his Right Forearm (and Elbow) gets into that positively outrageous -- but geometrically correct -- 'flying' alignment at the Top.
Would somebody please find and post such an overhead? Let's check it out!
There is NO WAY the club can point almost straight down to the ground like that at the End without softing the left arm AND cocking the right wrist even with a flying right elbow. His arms are soft at the End and the weight of the clubhead has cocked the right wrist.
Try it for yourself. I'm as flexible as anyone and the level right wrist prohibits his End club attitude no matter how high I fly the right elbow. In fact with a level right wrist, I can't even get the club to horizontal, much less past it.

Hmmm...Would you settle for a 'less than outrageously Cocked' Right Wrist?
Still would like to see the overhead photo -- or any other that would show clearly the Right Wrist Condition at the Top.

The picture of John with the ski cap... shows his right wrist position pretty well. He also extends the #3 Pressure Point finger unusually long down the shaft. The Right elbow gets into a Flying or in TGM language Push(I suppose) position.

That's cocked - the shaft is at almost a 90 deg angle to his right forearm.
