Thanks 12piece.

Here's my other more in-depth post on it...and this one was written with the descriptions using a player watching me swing face-on, not from the own player's viewpoint like my post above.

Imagine watching me swing face-on. In other words, if I wasn't holding a club, you'd be face-to-face with me.

At address, my right forearm is to the right of my right elbow from your perspective. As I take the club back, there becomes a point in the backstroke where my right forearm becomes even with my right elbow. Just after that, my right forearm moves to the left of my right elbow. Again, this is all from your perspective of facing me as I swing. This is the "fanning" motion.

Put another way: sit and clap your hands. Notice how your right hand/right forearm seems to inscribe an arc around your right elbow as you naturally clap your hands. Again, this representing Fanning.

Hope this helps. It's one of those things that you can show someone in a few seconds but it's just difficult to describe it in words!
