Two things . . . 1. the clubface is square to the line of flight at SEPARATION not Impact. So depending upon your selected procedure (swinging or hitting/manipulated hands swinging) and selected Hinge Action . . . your clubface may need to be open to be square at separation.
2. To expand upon the hinging dealie . . . if you use Angled Hinging . . . . the HARDER you are going to hit the ball, the more closed the clubface should be at address. WHY you say? Because with Angled Hinging the clubface is closing AND LAYING BACK. Soooooooo . . . if you are gonna hit it hard or the longer the shot, the LONGER THE BALL IS ON THE CLUBFACE THRU IMPACT . . . AND THE MORE IT IS EFFECTED BY THE LAYBACK . . .AND THE GREATER THE TENDENCY TO FADE. The opposite is true for Horizontal Hinging . . . the Longer the shot the more OPEN you set the clubface . . . because it is CLOSING ONLY.
If you take your grip at fix and take the above into account you can make the necessary adjustments to effect the "on-plane" right forearm thingie.
