Donn,
I wouldn't mind discussing this with you, but we will need to work through the terminology and get to your exact question. Pronation/Supination are medical terms for movement of the forearm - that movement doesn't change the wrist condition. That said , it's important to note that in Ben Hogan's paper back book "Five Lessons The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" on page 102 and 103- Hogan used those terms inappropriately in regards to the wrist- arching and bending the wrist would be the general non-medical explanation of those wrist conditions in Hogan's book, NOT pronation and supination. The terms he uses in his book are practically embarrassing- in their lack of regard for the proper medical term.

I agree Mike...
