Seeing that Yoda has banned me from participating in other forums on this website, I couldn't comment on this statement by Kevin Carter in another thread.

He stated with regards to Brian Gay's swing-: "I have never seen a player keep his right forearm in such a solid on plane condition for the entire motion as Brian does. It looks so freaking simple!"

First of all, what does he mean when he states that the right forearm is on-plane during the entire motion?

Secondly, what are the major factors that affect the orientation of the right forearm to the inclined plane during the downswing?

Jeff,

Please keep in mind that I am a complete TGM beginner. I have been around the game and teaching for 30 years, but I am beginning a new journey that I am very excited about. I LOVE TGM, but ANYTHING I say has to be taken as a statement from a beginner. I am here to learn.

What I meant was that Mr. Gay starts with his right elbow exactly in line with the shaft at address. Something he and YODA are (were) working very hard on. This is discussed in the premium video on this site that I am currently enjoying very much.

"On plane during the entire motion" may have been a mis-statement, I'm not sure. Hope I didn't lead anyone the wrong direction!

Kevin
