Notice how Golfgnome put quotation marks around "flat". Research geometrically flat vs literally flat. This is to say that "flat" is grip type dependent. His drill allows you to see what "flat" means for you given your particular grip type and at various stages of left wrist cock. Any additional left wrist cupping or arching is a horizontal wrist motion (bad) as opposed to a purely vertical left wrist cocking type motion. Cupping, bending through impact is Throwaway. The arch at impact shown by Hogan or Woods relates to their super weak left hand grip and the amount of shaft lean employed. A stronger left hand grip should show less of a bow at impact or its "fore right". This may relate to Tigers odd "wide rights" off the tee. Try different left hand grips and see what the implications to "flat" are by cocking the left wrist vertically up in front of you. Go from level to fully cocked to fully uncocked.
Then take a look at Lynns left hand grip and copy it, cock it and see what you get.
