I don't think it can fit in with NG beng considered arm swing since old Joe Dante taught a pullers body swing.

His thought was to keep the forearms and hand "stiff like wood" on the start of the downswing to promote the wrist bend in the trail hand, thereby preserving the angle into impact.

Joe Dante was one of the first golf instructors to recognize that consistancy and clubhead speed came from COAM, "conservation of angular momentum"!
