Fact is some small amount of rotation of the forearms going back and then through is perfectly natural and some pros like Faldo even used it as a swing thought, rotate and set going back. Easiest test is to see where the toe is pointing when the club is horizontal to the ground going back, it should be pointing to the sky, then you know you have rotated the forearms correctly. |
Actually when the club is horizontal on the way back, the club isn't suppost to be pointing straight up, that would mean the face is wide open. The club face is suppost to be on the same angle as your spine angle..so it looks slightly closed.
