What's the definition of insanity in golf instruction?
Saying the same things over-and-over even if they are incompatible with "real life" reality.
Here is the true "real life" reality in Mike Malaska's personal golf swing action.

Here is the true "real life" reality in Mike Malaska's personal golf swing action.
Capture images of his early-mid downswing action
Image 1 is at P4, image 2 is at P5 and image 3 is at P6.
Mike uses a weak-neutral lead hand grip and he also uses the intact LFFW swing technique.
Note that his clubface is straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and his lead lower forearm's lower radial bone at P4.
Note that his clubface is still straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and lead lower forearm's lower radial bone at P5.
Note that his clubface is still straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and lead lower forearm's lower radial bone at P6.
Note that his clubface is not parallel to his spine angle at P6 and it is obviously open relative to his clubhead path.
Image 1 is at P6 and image 2 is at P6.5.
Note that his clubface is still straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and lead lower forearm's lower radial bone (short red line) at P6. Note that his clubface is not parallel to his spine angle at P6 and it is obviously open relative to his clubhead path. Note that his lead lower forearm's lower radial bone is parallel to the ball-target line at P6.
Note that his clubface is still straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and lead lower forearm's lower radial bone (short red line) at P6.5. Note that his lead lower forearm's lower radial bone has rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise relative to the ball-target line, which causes his open clubface to start to rotate more counterclockwise relative to his clubhead path.
Image 1 is at P6, image 2 is at P6.5 and image 3 is at P7.
Note that his lead lower forearm's lower radial bone is parallel to the ball-target line at P6, about 45 degrees angled open relative to the ball-target line at P6.5 and angled about 20 degrees open at impact. He is performing the standard PA#3 release action (which is biomechanically due to lead forearm supination) between P6 => P7 and it is causally responsible for squaring his clubface relative to his clubhead path by impact.
Here is a capture image of Mike Malaska at his P6 position - captured from the 1:24 minute time point of his latest video when he was performing a full golf swing action.
Note that his clubface is still straight-line-aligned with his GFLW and lead lower forearm's lower radial bone (short red line) at P6. Note that his clubface is not parallel to his spine angle at P6 and it is obviously open relative to his clubhead path. Note that his lead lower forearm's lower radial bone is parallel to the ball-target line at P6.
Reality versus insanity!
