It seems as though the right wrist flattens a bit at impact. Considering you seems to use a 10-9-B address, perhaps sensing the amount of right wrist bend and keeping that amount (as best as you can) until both arms straight would help.

Another observation: You seem to move off the ball a bit (a lot less than a lot of very good players, though.) Do you utilize the right forearm takeaway, or more of a shoulder turn takeaway? I am not adept at telling the difference at this point except to say that a shoulder turn takeaway CAN promote a sway, whereas a right forearm takeaway helps keep the noggin centered and stationary. Check out the pic in the gallery showing Hogan in the follow through. My pet topic right now it the right forearm's angle of approach. If you are not getting stoney compression then you are probably running out of right arm, which will lead to the right wrist bending in order to make contact.

DTL it looked like your shaft is supported by the right forearm, so a lot is done well.

You also mentioned that you come out of your posture...something I think that can be connected to a shoulder turn takeaway. My on plane right forearm simply travels around my rib cage. My shoulders are turned...they do not turn themselves. Check out David Orr's explanation of the RFT.

Be encouraged though...you have a great golf stroke!
trying to catch up on the action in this thread....thanks all for the input!

I don't use a full 10-9-B address...it is sort of bitsa...hands are a bit forward but body is not in a full impact position. I have played around with mid body hands but over time they drift forward again.

I grew up pre TGM using a shoulder turn takeaway but at the moment the feel for me is more RFT than STT, I have also played with a lagging clubhead takeaway which worked well, but have never really got it down. So to answer your question it feels to me like I am using a RFT.
