AJ Bonar - Who's zooming who?

I read a lot of the golf magazines that are out there. Partly they're interesting and partly it's my job to be up on what's happening in the world of golf. I past most attention to the intsructional pieces, of which there seem to be thousands. Maybe there's too much advice floating around to be useful, but on technical analysis most of it is sound. The problem for most of us amateurs is what 3 things to focus on out of the hundreds of possibilites we are given.

But something out of the norm caught my eye in the most recent GOLF magazine. It's an article about a 'secret' move or to quote the story 'the biggest secret you've never been told'. So what is this wonderful tip that the 'best players already make'? According to the story, which is about a teacher called A.J. Bonar, it's rolling your wrists through impact.

Somebody help me out, is this really a secret. Either I'm a savant or this is what every instructional book I've read or looked at (and that must be at least 30) has talked about. It's not the 'only' thing a golfer has to do for sure, but it seems like a basic component of every modern teacher's instruction.

I take exception with the article because 1) it presents the information like it's something that no amateur has ever heard about and 2) intimates that renowned teachers like McLean, Leadbetter and Flick don't teach it. Who's zooming who here. I can't decipher if it's A. J. Bonar or an editor of GOLF magazine. I'd guess that the aforementioned teachers would take exception to the claims of the article. Of course, with headlines like "Everything you know about the swing is wrong" you might expect to sell more magazines. But how often can you challenge your readers intelligence before they catch on. And how does that help promote the game of golf which everyone in the golf industry needs to survive. Golf isn't growing in the US and it appears that the powers that be don't know how to change this sad fact.
