What is the exact motion for fanning on the backswing? Is it like Peter Crokers "slinging" motion for the backswing. (The clubhead with shaft just sweeps open on the backswing.) Is that correct?
I thought I read somewhere that the clubface should stay pointing at the target line as much as possible as a Hitter takes his backswing.

Didn't there used to be a David Orr video on the RFT? Is that in the Premium section, now? (Stupid me way back when never realized that his video applied to any stroke, not just swinging.)

PC's "slinging" takeaway is true rope handle swinging from std address hand location. Sitting firmly in the swinging section.

True hitting is no rotation of the sweet spot- single wrist action, 10-18-c, to allow for the recommended angled hinge thru the ball.
However hitters using the punch basic stroke can use some "fanning" - dealing cards toward your right shoulder (assuming your are right handed)

Thank you for your explanation,
I agree with your assessment of "slinging"

I just read on another site about takeaway for hitters. It stated that one way to view it, is to clap your hands together and then look at what happens to your right forearm when you hands come apart. It has a slow and slight turn or rotation.
I think this what you are saying.
