Faults and Fog lifting - forearm rolling

[dbl]

I think a lot of fog lifting can come about by showing misconceptions which people pick up from golf magazines and such, versus proper stroke action.

This topic came to mind when I was thinking about the difference between horizontal hinging and what mags refer to as rolling the forearms over. So there's my idea for a video of this sort. Show the kind-of-faulty idea, and then go over what is trying to be accomplished and some ways of actually doing it.

Maybe this thread (with video answer) overlaps with what you're thinking about:

That's definitely a great video.

Maybe it's not worth redoing to get the angle I was thinking of.

Maybe I can think of another "bad advice" to "good advice" swing element not covered.

I didn't see that vid before, but found something interesting there. About 3/4 of the way through Brian talks about the hinge action. One thing he shows is what he refers to as a "reverse roll action" which causes the face to face the sky well after impact. I was watching the Kraft Nabisco yesterday and noticed M. Wie hitting alot of stinger type shots, but was leaving the clubface exactly like this (facing the sky) and just stopping there. What is it that she's really trying to accomplish with that shot? If it's a stinger, shouldn't the clubface trace back up the plane?

Should employ an angled hinging procedure, at the very least.
