Once i know i'm either on plane or even SLIGHTLY (very slightly) inside (my problem is an outside takeaway thus what i do above) i then simply fold my right elbow and keep rotating my shoulders and maintain extensor action until the backswing is finished. This is the takeaway that ALLOWS ME to make a very good backswing. If i strictly use a shoulder turn takeaway my plane line shifts way out to the right (good for hitting a draw). If i strictly use a right forearm pickup (while swinging not hitting) i have a tendency to take it to the outside and i get a pull. It's all about options Jim, What Delivery Path are you using?
