Yes, it does highlight the fundamental mistake even the adult beginner makes and why golf is so difficult to learn - actively using the wrists to try to flick the ball, more like a table tennis hit. Kids do it even more so, usually with a quick forward lift of the clubhead by forward bend of the right wrist.
Learning that the golf swing is really a body motion that causes the arms and clubhead to swing, not an arms and wrist driven action is the crucial learning to get to grips with golf. You wont show a three year old, but youth or adult beginners should be shown one of the trebuchet analogies to understand as quickly as possible this key counterintuitive action in golf.
Do all PGA pros teach the same if you are new?
