Right Palm Alignment At the Top

If a golfer has the flexibility to get to that position, then he should be in the perfect end-backswing position (for a swinger).

What do you think of my "method" of executing/teaching a takeaway action?
Jeff,

At the Top, your right palm is facing outward, as if you were a traffic cop saying "Stop!" As a golfer, do you think this is the proper alignment of the palm to the Inclined Plane? How will this affect your Left Wrist? How will your Clubface and Clubshaft be aligned should the palm actually achieve this alignment?
