Here is my dumbed way way down take on this. Analogies are kind of irritating I know, my apologies.

At first glance it would seem logical that pushing and pulling would provide maximum power. In fact it does. But first appearances in golf are often way off the mark. Take the square to square club face for instance.

Imagine a car stuck in the snow. One man pushing , one man pulling is obviously better than only one of em for sure. But the car has structure that these two hard to coordinate forces can not break.

Now imagine the car as being made out of balsa wood or spun sugar or whatever. This car had best be pulled or pushed but not both for fear of mis coordinated forces destroying its structure, its raison d'ete.

Im thinking for most all golfers the flat left wrist is the spun sugar car stuck in the snow. Push and pull if you want but for crying out loud dont break it.

Now if you're left wrist is made of steel go for it. Me, Ill take the one guy pulling golf wise.
