sure the wrist turns as the forearm turns , however turning the wrist and bending the wrist are separate issue. . if you are throwing the punch properly, whether the hook, upper cut , ect. you should have no bend in the wrist... bending the wrist will not help you find your target only cause long term problems. .

I can say with certainty that I have never bent my wrist throwing any punch . .. the forearm , wrist and fist become one, str8 as an arrow on impact .

if your wrist is bent especially on a solid impact shots your looking at a host of problems in short period of time. not a habit to get into .
