Takeaway - shaft parallel - club head north or south

Brian, surely if you have your clubface pointing to the ground when the shaft is parallel (halfway back) you would have rolled your wrists no? So the clubhead is now closed.

If you start at address and and move the club away normally without any wrist roll and then stop when the club shaft is parallel to the ground. The leading edge of the clubhead (the bit which sits squarely behind the ball at address) should be vertical.

A lot of teachers advocate this, maybe we are not talking about the same thing or I have misunderstood (wouldnt be the first time)
