JohnT,

The exact center of the clubhead mass is the sweet spot. The clubshaft rotates around that point. You can hold any club horizontally between your fingers and roll the grip between you thumb and index finger to see this. The shaft rotates around the sweetspot.

In swinging, we are essentially letting the club rotate per it's design. That means the clubface needs to be turned on the backswing, and rolled on the downswing. The rolling will happen automatically as centrifigal force begins to act on the clubhead. You don't have to try and manipulate your hands for this to happen.

In hitting and swinging, the bent right wrist through impact assures that your hands are beating the clubhead to the ball and you are keeping a flat left wrist at impact. You will learn more about the importance of the flat left wrist/bent right wrist over time. It is one of the cornerstones of golf.
