Your definition raises an issue...why then does Mr. Kelley admonish taking all strokes to the both arms straight position per 8-11?

To be a good player, you must swing your Left Arm through the Ball while keeping your Left Wrist Flat. This assures the Rhythm of the Stroke -- the Left Arm and Clubshaft remaining In Line (6-B-3-0) -- and also compliance with the Law of the Flail (Sketch 2-K #1-#3). However, unless the Right Arm is sufficiently bent through Impact, it acts as a 'chain' on the Left Arm that prevents it from swinging through. Then, the Left Wrist Bends, Rhythm evaporates and erratic Execution (3-F-6) becomes the order of the day.

The solution is to maintain the Normal Condition of the Arms: 'Left Arm straight and Right Arm bent' until the end of the Follow-Through (by definiton, the Both Arms Straight position). To see it in action, click through this sequence of Stuart Appleby http://www.golfonline.com/golfonline...634482,00.html frame-by-frame throughout the Release Interval (Release to Follow-Through).

Then, learn to do it yourself. The key here is the Right Shoulder. Most players Turn it Off Plane during the Start Down and keep it too 'high' throughout the Downstroke. Instead, keep it 'back and down' (On Plane / 7-13). A few thousand Start Down Waggles (3-F-5) -- the Hands (via the Pivot and its On Plane Right Shoulder as actuated by Hip Action) dragging the butt end of the Club directly toward the Plane Line -- will be your gateway.

Work on these things -- diligently -- and finally will come the day when you will watch your Right Arm (the Third Side of the Triangle / 6-A-1) extend beautifully Down Plane (3-F-7-E) through Impact and Follow-Through (1-L #10 and #15). And for at least this one brief shining moment...

The world will be as it should.

And I said all that without moving my lips!
