The TURNED LEFT HAND GRIP along with a FLAT LEFT WRIST.

Is this indeed a CLOSED CLUBFACE(CLUBFACE LOOKING TO SKY)?
Why do most good players that are in this position at the TOP(Trevino, Duval, Lietzke) actually FADE the ball?

This is a topic that should be addressed more. I'm fairly sure that Mr. Doyle actually says that the Clubface to Sky with Flat or Arched Left Wrist is OPEN, and vice versa. Of course many, many... most would say the exact opposite.

Of course whether one HOOKS or SLICES, depends a lot on how one brings the club and hands DOWN.

Arch your Left Wrist at Impact Fix . . . Clubface will OPEN. So maybe some people HOOK who have the Arch at the Top because the have to compensate for the alignment at the top which looks "shut" but is really OPENNING the clubface.

One interesting thing that I picked up by watching Yoda give this guy a lesson was that he was a bit Arched and as a result couldn't fully uncock to Full-Lever Extension. As a result could get completely DOWN because his Left Arm Wedge couldn't work properly.

gotta love the Machine.
