If you are keeping your lead wrist cupped which I think is reference to extension of the lead wrist, how do you square the face to the target line without drastically altering the dynamic lie at impact? Anytime we are trying to keep something, or not do something, we are getting in the way of the motion.
If you think of holding a steering wheel at 9 and 3, when you turn the wheel to the left with both hands, you want your left elbow to lead the wheel and stay “on the outside” of the steering wheel. The opposite would be letting the lead elbow move towards the rib cage which then requires the wrist to do the turning before running out of room.
Around 5:30, you can see Mark bends his lead elbow and flexes (bows) his lead wrist. The wrist joint is now outside the frizbee (further away from the very centre of the frizbee). Whereas, when Mark had his lead elbow tucked into his ribcage and his lead wrist in extension (cupped) - his wrist joint was inside the circumference of the frizbee (closer to the centre). The slight elbow bend and flexed wrist seem to access more rotation (possibly more shoulder socket range of motion) for a smoother and more gradual squaring of the clubface. The alternative (wrist cupped and elbow tucked), has limited rotation range and instead causes the arms to lift away from the body.

Love doing this drill with a 20 pound plate. To support the weight the wrist can’t collapse
That is a great variation for sure! All the best!
The way I understood to keep the leading wrist in a cupped position in the down swing .

Can you explain "out side wheel" what means, can not see the difference, thx
