Wrist angles in the swing, casting, flipping and all that good stuff.

I love AMG, but I am confused on a few topics that they have released videos on. The recent shaft lean video they did(yes I know this has been talked about in other areas) talks about impact occurring on the trail side of the body and the golfer should not wipe their hands across the body to create shaft lean. Well, I have been struggling with flipping and/or casting. So I went back and watched a video they had on flipping. In it, they talk about the Justin Rose drill and getting the arms more in front of you. Wouldn’t that contradict what they said in the recent shaft lean video in regards to not wiping the hands and arms across the body, or am I not understanding what they are saying? 
 

As far as wrist angles go, many teachers talk about flexion in the left wrist and extension in the right wrist and keeping those angles. AMG and Monte talk a lot about letting those angles out. Again, am I missing something here? What theory do you guys find correct for your swing? Thanks in advance.

Justin Rose drill isnt bringing the hands in front of his chest, it is bringing them down and out, but they are still behind the trail leg.

There's a difference between "in front of your zipper" and "in front of your trail hip" (i.e. not getting "stuck"). The hands might appear to be in a similar position, but the trail elbow is often quite different.

Here is how I eliminate the confusion...

With an iron swing I just make sure my hands get to the ball a hair before the club head.
