VERY DEFINITIVE TREATMENT UNLIKE MOST OF THE COACHES WHO TRY TO SELL THEIR ONE VERSION OF THE SWING AND SWEAR THAT THE REST WERE WRONG........

This is an excellent video, that I keep coming back to. One thing I notice is that you seem to stand quite closed. Is this deliberate, or the camera? Or am I just mistaken?

My foot stance is closed in this swing video. However, it is better to keep the feet and body parallel to the ball-target line as a general rule.

What plane are you skipping the stone on? Certainly not the horizontal plane of a lake. I understand the throwing motion, but my club face is wide open at impact .... perhaps to my stronger right hand grip?

[ImperfectGolfer]

The stone is moving close to parallel to the ground/lake. However, the right forearm is moving at an inclined angle to the ground - roughly along the elbow plane (as seen in a golfer's swing).

In a swinger, PUSHING with the right arm/hand in the late downswing will drive the hands too fast into impact, and there will be insufficient time to complete the release swivel action => clubface will be open at impact.

This is such a good, fundamentally sound discussion. I've taken up golf over the last 3 years and have read just about every golf book on the market (Hogan, Haney, Smith, etc), and this video series along with the text description on your web site are the best I've been exposed to. Excellent work!
