If you are a left-handed golfer you should. But for right handed golfers; Left hand club face, right hand club head.
Are you making a reference to right arm swing, where the right elbow replaces the left shoulder as the center of the arc?

Try it man. W/E works for you. If it helps to think of it that way then do it I say.
I don't think you'll make Homer angry.

For "hitting" or left arm "swinging" the left shoulder is the center of the clubhead motion. "Hitters" use the right arm to actively drive the primary lever assembly (left arm and shaft) arround the center (left shoulder).
Right arm "swinging" is longitudinal acceleration (pulling), not thrusting (pushing, radial acceleration).
You may be only feeling the powerful right hand’s motion and thinking that it is doing both.
The left hand control of the clubface is PASSIVE. You can only perform this subtle passive action with the left hand. Why? Because the big bad right hand is out to destroy the cover of your $3.50 Titleist. The right hand is power- it can’t explode on the ball and also perform a dandy and gently, subtle hinge action. Let the left hand do it. Homer tried for years and years to find a way to let the right hand do both and realized that both hands are needed.
Also, as I posted to bts, the only real hinge action you will feel is with the horizontal hinge motion. The angled hinge action is really no action at all- just drive the hands down the plane line. This is why the right hand will feel like it is doing it all, but to gain real control of the HH allow the left hand to be passive and finish the motion.

6-B-1-0 THE FIRST POWER ACCUMULATOR is the Bent Right Arm – the Hitter’s (7-19) Muscle Power Accumulator. Even though the Right Bicep is active per 7-3, the Backstroke (8-5) is always made with the Right Arm striving to remain straight. But the straight Left Arm restrains this continuous Extensor Action of the right triceps with and effortless Checkreign Action. Consequently, during Release (7-24) the Right Arm can straighten only as the Left Arm moves away froM the Right Shoulder. This results in a smooth, even Thrust for acceleration of the Lever Assemblies (6-A) from an otherwise unruly force. Active or Passive, the straightening Right Elbow with its Paddlewheel Action, powers, guides, and regulates the #3 Accumulator Motion (7-18) but not the actual Clubface aligning (1-F). Study 2-M, 7-11 and Components 19.
Sort of . . . but not really per Mr. K and 6-B-1-0. Right Hand clubhead Left Hand clubface.

No problem....
Just monitor the clubhead lag #3 pressure point location....
Horizontal - Behind
Angled - Behind working under
Vertical - Behind working WAY under
or whatever it feels like to you.

I've actually done this for a long time. I've argued that to me as a hitter it is actually easier to control hinge action with the right hand than with the left hand. You want to work the ball left, then get the right hand more under the club and bend those fingers on the right hand back towards your arm. Want to work it more right, then weaken the right hand and don't create as much bend. I'm so right hand dominent though it's tough to me to control the club face with the left, I can do it, but I need to be swinging to make it work...
As I posted earlier, a Hitter does not have a hinge action to perform- the angled hinge is a natural product of the stroke, so a Hitter does not need to allow the passive left hand to do anything. If you were a Swinger and needed to perform a Horizontal Hinge Action, you would be cheating yourself and letting the right hand perform mashing and turning the toe. Let a simple sublte turn of the left work while your right powers the through the ball.

Giving the responsibility of clubface control to the right hand is dependant on right elbow location or mis-location and therefore lacks the precision of the left hand.
