That right forearm is very cool indeed .

I've been trying to show here is the role of the right forearm and its participation at startup controls all three dimensions of the onplane golf stroke simultaneously and its influences on the left arm as the power package is transported.

There is a good discussion of this topic in the Archives "Magic Of The Right Forearm / Elbow Action GM#1" at http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=2667 It is my understanding that "tracing" with the right forearm is only useful approaching, at impact, and beyond. In the backswing, once the right elbow starts to bend to raise the club and the right forearm begins to point upward it is no longer a useful toll for tracing. In fact I've never heard of anyone advocating "tracing" in the backswing, the most heard 'tool' for keeping on plane being the "either end of the club is pointing at the plane line, or the club is parallel to it".
