First of all to answer this question you must understand the concept of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge and the Level Right Wrist.
The Right Forearm Flying Wedge is basically having the Clubshaft and Right FOREARM in the same plane like a javelin thrower. Check the cat out in this pic. See how the javelin and his right forearm could lay on a table if he dropped them down. The table is the PLANE. So in javelin chucking the table(plane of motion) is Vertical. In baseball the plane is Horizontal . . . See how the forearm and bat are in the same plane and could lay on a table?
. . . and golf the Plane is INCLINED . . . like a roof.
See how Lee Buck's Right Forearm and Clubshaft are in the same plane?
So the Magic of the Right Forearm is this. If you go to Impact Fix and have your Right Forearm and Clubshaft in the same plane, you can actually see and feel the Inclined Plane that the club swings upon just by looking at your Right Forearm and where it is pointing. Back Up and In . . . Down Out and Forward.
That at impact fix when I get my right forearm on plane that my clubface works to an open position at address. I have hit some great shots from here...it just looks different!

Two things . . . 1. the clubface is square to the line of flight at SEPARATION not Impact. So depending upon your selected procedure (swinging or hitting/manipulated hands swinging) and selected Hinge Action . . . your clubface may need to be open to be square at separation.
2. To expand upon the hinging dealie . . . if you use Angled Hinging . . . . the HARDER you are going to hit the ball, the more closed the clubface should be at address. WHY you say? Because with Angled Hinging the clubface is closing AND LAYING BACK. Soooooooo . . . if you are gonna hit it hard or the longer the shot, the LONGER THE BALL IS ON THE CLUBFACE THRU IMPACT . . . AND THE MORE IT IS EFFECTED BY THE LAYBACK . . .AND THE GREATER THE TENDENCY TO FADE. The opposite is true for Horizontal Hinging . . . the Longer the shot the more OPEN you set the clubface . . . because it is CLOSING ONLY.
If you take your grip at fix and take the above into account you can make the necessary adjustments to effect the "on-plane" right forearm thingie.
