Unfortunately, the videos that you reference are inaccessible at this precise moment.

However, the other Steve Stricker Youtube videos that are visible show a swing with minimal (if any) left wrist cocking in the backswing (in my very inexperienced and humble opinion).

I'm OK with this but I just can't figure out how you can accomplish a cocking left wrist without also cupping the right wrist to an equal extent. It just doesn't seem possible.
