I only have 15 years of full time teaching.
Also on my list
Bent left wrist at impact-leads to a chickened winged left arm
Outside in plane line.Every hackers rt. arm comes in too high.
Not getting to low point.
Open face near impact.
They read Golf Digest and watch the Golf Channel.They can't weed the bad info from the good.

The face SHOULD be open near impact.

Hacker's top ONE - lack of BALANCE -

Mizuno... the clubface should indeed be OPEN near impact, and at IMPACT. The clubface should be square at separation. How much OPEN do you feel the clubface should be at IMPACT? Do you program this in at FIX?

Yes your right but most hackers don't understand the proper uncocking(#2power accumulater )and roll procedure(#3) to square the face by seperation.
Since their bent plane line is out side in ---- if they released properly they would hit it left so they reverse roll scoop while chicken winging their left elbow. This leads to a hitting up on the ball. This is all accomplished while their thinking KEEP YOUR DOWN(the hackers favorite mantra).

lag,

Yes, it's gotta be open at impact to hit the inside quadrant. Brian says 3 degrees. I know that if it's square at normal address, it'll be open at impact, if the hands are ahead at impact.
