It's really more a timing thing than "rolling your hands over", literally. I think that's the "right hand heavy" analogy. It makes sense that your right hand turning over would pull the ball left (for a righty), but if you reallly rolled your hands, you'd hit a smother hook about 40 yards.

So for you Rock, you are aware of the fact that your hands are "whipping (for lack of a better word) through" the ball. You must have spent some time working on the timing of this action. Just curious, because I swing similarly to what Ezra described - my swing thought is to hit the ball with my right hip pocket. I'm not even I have hands when I swing. I might be missing out on some clubhead speed though and it might explain why I prefer S- or R+ shafts on my clubs.
OR - maybe I do it but just am unaware of the action.
