Jan: thanks for the comment. You do raise a good point – ‘lateral’ was the term used by one of my coaches. It is not the side-to side that you are referring to – rather it IS the upward wrist cock.
I think the correct medical term for it is ‘ulnar deviation’ – essentially, the back of your left hand needs to be in a straight line with the left wrist as you get to the top. From here, the wrist breaks ‘upwards’.
I think you’ve got the basic concept right – I might need to edit that post to clarify the distinction. Thanks for bringing it up. Happy golfing!

This makes me think of a side to side wrist hinge, similar to trying to touch your forearm with the back of your hand, rather than an upward wrist cock, i.e. if you were to stand at address and hinge your wrists up towards your nose. Can you add clarification?
