Watch this BeBetterGolf video featuring Milo Lines.
At the 22:46 minute time point, Brendon asks Milo what he does to square his clubface?
Note Milo's amazing answer!!!
He demonstrates a left wrist flipping motion and he states that he has to do it early before P5.5 so that it is already completed before he gets to impact!!!!
I am frequently amazed that golf instructors can have such a profound lack of knowledge of fundamental golf swing biomechanics - even if they are great ball strikers!

Hi Dr. Mann,
I have a different take on what Milo meant. Recall how he demonstrated that baseball players hit the ball toward the right when their wrists release too late. Unless you have another theory, I assume that clubface angle is affected by the timing of the release. Since Milo didn't elaborate on some method of squaring the face, I assume that he simply relies on the release of his wrists.

Hi Dr. Mann, I have a different take on what Milo meant. Recall how he demonstrated that baseball players hit the ball toward the right when their wrists release too late. Unless you have another theory, I assume that clubface angle is affected by the timing of the release. Since Milo didn't elaborate on some method of squaring the face, I assume that he simply relies on the release of his wrists. S I agree that Milo is referring to the release of PA#2, which he is trying to time correctly with the correct release of his left wrist. However, when I think of clubface control (relative to the clubhead arc) I am thinking of the release of PA#3 (which is due to left forearm supination). The correct release of PA#2 must precede the correct release of PA#3 because one needs the clubhead to reach the ball with the correct amount of forward shaft lean, but to then also get a square clubface at impact one has to perfect the release of PA#3. I recently talked to Milo about this issue and he admits that he never thinks of his "left forearm supination" action and he simply presumes that it will happen naturally/automatically if he correctly times the release of his club. At first, he implied that he does not use left forearm supination, but he eventually conceded that it has to happen even though the amount is smaller because he uses a moderately strong left hand grip.
