Do the wrists roll over in the golf swing?

Should you bow your wrist in golf?

Bowing the left wrist can help hold the clubface more stable throughout the swing and prevent a flipping of the hands at impact, leading to better compression of the golf ball. Obviously, the middle ground between a bowed and cupped left wrist can be described as a 'neutral' position.
