Move that assembly into Impact Alignment without "flashing" your Right Hand (Impact in the Turned Alignment). Notice the Clubface remains stable as it closes (Toe passing heel) and very important, please notice that your right Forearm is aligned on the Angle of Approach when the Clubhead reaches Impact.
When your Right Forearm at Impact has reached the Angle of Approach, it's On-Plane and if you were to attach a dowel rod to your Right Forearm it would Point to the Plane line about 15 yards ahead of the Ball while on the TSP and about 5 yards ahead of the Ball if you used the Elbow Plane. (depends on Club Length)
This causes the Clubface to "Close Only" through Impact. If you consistently (persistently) hit Push Shots, it's because you haven't closed the Clubface, which is because your Right Forearm hasn't reached the Angle of Approach, which is because ........of the many possible reasons, it's most likely that you don't know what you should be trying to do. Once you understand what you're trying to do, it's pretty easy to do it.
Don't think that because you brought a "Turned Right Wrist and Right Arm Flying Wedge" into Impact that you haven't "Rolled". You have Rolled! You've "Rolled" around an Axis perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane. And, your Left Forearm Flying Wedge will Roll about the Hinge because of your Flat Left Wrist.
Using the above procedure will allow (Force) your Left Wrist to remain Vertical to the Horizontal Plane through the Impact Interval. And, Very Stable....without flashing your Hands.

How does the right forearm reach the Angle of Approach?
I have a few pictures of Standard Address and Impact Fix.

I managed to keep my Stationary Head last night, RFT and hook balls with every club from Standard Address. I hit all my clubs further but it was unnerving to miss so many pins left.
It is really hard to hook a ball on a simulator. From Standard Address, I just RFT'd. Should I bend my right wrist back to start the tracing and then continue to Trace or do I keep the right wrist flat, stiff and RFT or Trace? Is that causing the hook? Is that Angle of Approach the clapping motion that Lynn showed to Lou Holtz? Is that clapping motion achieved with the Hogan motion of returning his elbow to his side? It almost seems like the torso stays more stationary and the arm just RFT's and returns. I just realized I do not really understand the wrist positions other than to elevate both wrists at standard address. UGH!

According to Mr Furze in "Right Forearm Takeaway:"
3. Start-Up Left/Right wrist Condition - At Address the Left Wrist is Bent and the Right Wrist is Flat, as the club starts back because of Extensor Action through Pressure Point #3 the Left Wrist Flattens and the Right Wrist Bends.

At least I did not "flash" my hands, I don't think. I tried my version of Lynn'd elegant Swing. RFT to shoulder level and a little tilt up with my torso to "Spin, Spin, Spin" the vertically cocked Left wrist. It was amazing to me that such a small slight move could send the ball 210 yards on a simulator.
