Check forearm alignment, not just the clubface, at setup

The instructor shows that your setup can point the forearms wrong before you swing: if your trail arm sits above your lead arm, the forearms form a 'circle' (path) pointing left of where the face points. The fix he demonstrates is to turn the lower/trail forearm so the face and the forearms line up together at address.
