As you are learning, start the roll as soon as you begin down as long as you uncock FIRST, then roll. Like you are trying to throw the club AWAY from the target, in the plane of your left wrist cock.

In reality, it is the pivot that really 'does' the roll for you, but as you are learning, you'll begin to feel the 'smooth' roll if you try the extremes first (use a weak grip and roll as hard as you can, as long as you are on plane)

You will find fairly quickly that once you can feel the 'heavy' club (imagine it is as heavy as a sledge hammer, but let it 'swing') the roll will take care of itself as your balance and rhythm improve. As a swinger, balance and rhythm/tempo can not be stressed enough.

Practice the uncock then roll swinging two or three clubs held together, with your eyes closed. Feel that 'heavy' club, and the rhythm of its swinging motion. Back and through, back and through. You'll soon start to feel CF 'helping' you if you just let it. One long smooth roll from the top to finish. Keep your pivot moving by thinking of firing that right knee at the ball.
