anatomically "correct"?

I've always observed however that forearm rotation independent, beyond, and faster(rpm and mph)than whole arm rotation succeeds only as a corective measure or remedy for an off plane near the top, at the top, or start down off plane condition or it serves great purpose through impact for specialty shots. Actually forearm rotations can serve or disserve a golfer in so many ways that I don't feel my language is adequate to describe what I'm trying to convey. Anyway, thanks for the clarity and rare addition of the term "supination" in golf lexicon.
hi coop,
glad to help...i'm no TGM expert by any means, but "supination and pronation" have been part of my training and it is useful for me to translate HK's terms to such anatomical standards (but probably isn't or even is confusing for a lot of folks, just depends on what you are used to)...cheers!
