As well as something that starts to happen the older you get (so I've heard), this appears to be the solution to maintaining wrist cock and increasing power.

I must say that I've never heard of this in my life!!!

Has anyone heard of anything like this before? Seems a bit daft to me.
 
I've never heard it called that before, but if you've got Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf then I think that's what he refers to as the supination of the left wrist. Certainly looks similar to the sequences on pages 82, 102 & 106.
 
That's what Ben Hogan called "supination" and my pro (Paul Page) teaches

It stopped Hogan from hooking violently and most pros use it to deloft the club through impact and get a lower stronger flight. I constantly try to do it as I've been prone to cocking the wrong hand at the top of the swing and when I get it right its a very powerful move.

Jones's left wrist supination was at/through impact! A slightly incorrect term btw. as the wrist isn't really involved (other being attached to the bits that move).

As for down-cock (catchy title btw.) it seems a bit contrived to me. I'll stick with Pump-Drilling my way to decent lag via The Lag Doctor's style - slightly more natural to me.
