Is the information in this Herman Williams video correct?

What's your opinion of this video?  Is the information correct, advisable, legitimate?

What's your opinion of Herman Williams?  Does he know what he's talking about?  I don't know anything about him.

More on a grip, I would look at this thread -

@mvmac more of a stronger grip. The pad of the trigger finger is more on the side of the club. I think you can maintain the correct position at the top of the swing with a strong grip as with a weak grip, obviously some very good golfers on the PGA Tour do.

Look at Zach Johnson, probably has the strongest grips on the PGA Tour and he's a multiple time winner and won the Masters.

I just don't see the swing faults talked by that instructor as being linked to the grip. I think they are more a function of how the person actually swings the club. I am sure there are golfers with weak and strong grips who have those swing faults at the top of the swing.

I don't think golfers are loosing power or leverage by having the grip stronger versus weaker.

I'm not a fan of actually imagining, or trying to actually get the toe of the club to turn over. That is going to happen in the swing.

When I first saw the thread title, I though it said "Sherman Williams" and we were going to talk about painting.

I think the grip needs to be way off IMO to really affect the other keys.

I'm more interested in the non-grip related information in the video.  Is that really how the wrists (especially the right wrist) should be hinging?

I'll ignore the grip stuff (I disagree that you want it generally as on top as he's suggesting) and will focus on what he says about the right wrist.

It's all fine until he talks about what the right wrist should do after impact. He's teaching a LOT of roll, and that's not necessarily. Some players do it, some don't. The players who do tend to have weaker grips and hit pulls and cuts.
