After you take your address and square stance, take your right arm off the club and let it hang. Are you placing your right hand grip with this in mind. If not would this affect your RFP or TSP...............
Queastions to ponder.........

The Right Hand is placed on the Club in its Vertical Condition, i.e., perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane. This alignment is mandatory for the ideal Right Forearm Flying Wedge and its 90 degree support of the Left Arm Flying Wedge.

I guess it's time to show my ignorance, but I don't understand what you mean here, Yoda. I understand what perpendicular is, but I guess I'm unsure what the "Horizontal Plane" is. The only plane I'm familiar with is lying on an angle. The right arm shouldn't hang straight down, naturally, at address?
In the meantime, I'm going to go see if I can find this in the Yellow Book.

I think what he means by vertical or perpendicular is to place the hands vertical against one of the three basic planes - per hinge action.
Or perhaps take the grip with the club at waist or shoulder height in a horizontal plane perpindicular to the body.
Right arm and club shaft should lie on the same plane -- as if placed on a table top. This site has photos depicting this on an early post by Yoda.

Jimmy,
There are three Basic Planes of Motion: Horizontal, Veritical and Angled (the floor, the wall, and any degree of pitched roof). Per 4-C-1: "The Wrist is Vertical when the back of the Left Hand would lie flat against a swinging door whose hinges are located at the shoulder line."
Holding the Wrist at Address position, at the Shoulder, or over the Head does not determine its Vertical Condition. Only if the Wrist has been Turned (to the right) or Rolled (to the left) has the Wrist abandoned its Vertical Condition.
I know its hard but lets just talk plain english. If I remove my right arm and hand off the grip and if the shaft had been set to be in line with the right forearm would the arm fall inward so it was extended out to get to that position or would hang straight relative to the ground down? Pictures I have seen seem to show the arm is extend out. I am not sure when I have the magic forearm setup what hinging we are talking about.
